Viruses that infect microbial hosts have traditionally been studied in laboratory settings with
a focus on either obligate lysis or persistent lysogeny. In the environment, these infection …

The unique genetic makeup and remarkable competency of Vibrio cholerae are the key
factors that help the cholera pathogen adapt rapidly to adverse environmental conditions …

Bacteriophages are enigmatic entities that defy definition. Classically, they are specialist
viruses that exclusively parasitize bacterial hosts. Yet this definition becomes limiting when …

The canonical lytic–lysogenic binary has been challenged in recent years, as more
evidence has emerged on alternative bacteriophage infection strategies. These infection …

In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the stable operation of biological wastewater
treatment is strongly dependent on the stability of associated microbiota. Bacteriophages …

Bacteriophages (phages) are nanostructured viruses with highly selective antibacterial
properties that have gained attention beyond eliminating bacteria. Specifically, M13 phages …

Bacteriophages, viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria, impact bacterial responses
to antibiotics in complex ways. Recent studies using lytic bacteriophages to treat bacterial …

Pf bacteriophage are temperate phages that infect the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
a major cause of chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) and other settings. Pf and …

Inoviruses are filamentous phages infecting numerous prokaryotic phyla. Inoviruses can self-
assemble into mesoscale structures with liquid-crystalline order, termed tactoids, which …

The Host-microbiome interactions that exist inside the gut microbiota operate in a synergistic
and abnormal manner. Additionally, the normal homeostasis and functioning of gut …
