The human gut microbiome is a dense and taxonomically diverse consortium of
microorganisms. While the bacterial components of the microbiome have received …

Our microbiome should be understood as one of the most complex components of the
human body. The use of β-lactam antibiotics is one of the microbiome covariates that …

Background The human virome consists of animal‐cell viruses causing transient infections,
bacteriophage (phage) predators of bacteria and archaea, endogenous retroviruses and …

Bacteriophages (hence termed phages) are viruses that target bacteria and have long been
considered as potential future treatments against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection …

Our microbiota presents peculiarities and characteristics that may be altered by multiple
factors. The degree and consequences of these alterations depend on the nature, strength …

Viral discovery is accelerating at an unprecedented rate due to continuing advances in
culture-independent sequence-based analyses. One important facet of this discovery is …

In this review we provide an overview of current challenges and advances in bacteriophage
research within the growing field of viromics. In particular, we discuss, from a human virome …
