Stx-phages: drivers and mediators of the evolution of STEC and STEC-like pathogens
HE Allison - 2007 - Future Medicine
Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that infect bacteria. Until recently they
have been ignored by most of the scientific community, but their impact upon our world is …
