The extraordinary diversity of viruses infecting bacteria and archaea is now primarily studied
through metagenomics. While metagenomes enable high-throughput exploration of the viral …

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. Many of them produce specific
enzymes called depolymerases to break down external polysaccharide structures. Accurate …

Although tailed bacteriophages (phages) of the class Caudoviricetes are thought to
constitute the most abundant and ecologically relevant group of phages that can integrate …

Viruses are a major control on populations of microbes. Often, their virulence is examined in
controlled laboratory conditions. Yet, in nature, environmental conditions lead to changes in …

Marine viruses are key players of ocean biogeochemistry, profoundly influencing microbial
community ecology and evolution. Despite their importance, few studies have explored …

Background Phage therapy, reemerging as a promising approach to counter antimicrobial-
resistant infections, relies on a comprehensive understanding of the specificity of individual …

With the growing interest in using phages to combat antimicrobial resistance, computational
methods for predicting phage-host interactions have been explored to help shortlist …

Coprolites contain various kinds of ancient DNAs derived from gut micro-organisms, viruses,
and foods, which can help to determine the gut environment of ancient peoples. Their …

Aims This study aimed to characterize the lytic phage vB_KmiS-Kmi2C, isolated from
sewage water on a GES-positive strain of Klebsiella michiganensis. Methods and Results …
