Viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages or phage) have broad effects on bacterial ecology and
evolution in nature that mediate microbial interactions, shape bacterial diversity, and …

Clinical trial results of phage treatment of bacterial infections show a low to moderate
efficacy, and the variation in infection clearance between subjects within studies is often …

The ecological dynamics underlying the coexistence between antagonistic populations of
bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages (phages), in the mammalian gut microbiota …

The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threatens to become the leading cause of
worldwide mortality. This crisis has renewed interest in the practice of phage therapy. Yet …

The evolutionary arms race between phages and bacteria, where bacteria evolve resistance
to phages and phages retaliate with resistance-countering mutations, is a major driving force …

Phage therapy is a promising alternative to chemotherapeutic antibiotics for the treatment of
bacterial infections. However, despite recent clinical uses of combinations of phages to treat …

The use of bacteriophages has been proposed as an alternative method to control
pathogenic bacteria. During recent years several reports have been published about the …

Abundance and diversity of bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages (phages), in
the digestive tract are associated with human health. Particularly intriguing is the long-term …

Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. One
