Bacteroides spp. are part of the human intestinal microbiota but can under some
circumstances become clinical pathogens. Phages are a potentially valuable therapeutic …

Bacteroidota are the most common bacteria in the human gut and are responsible for
degrading complex polysaccharides that would otherwise remain undigested. The …

Bacteriophage associated with the human gut microbiome are likely to have an important
impact on community structure and function, and provide a wealth of biotechnological …

The genome of a fecal pollution indicator phage, Bacteroides fragilis ATCC 51477-B1, was
sequenced and consisted of 44,929 bases with a G+ C content of 38.7%. Forty-six putative …

Background Viral metagenomic studies have suggested a role for bacteriophages in
intestinal dysbiosis associated with several human diseases. However, interpretation of viral …

Intestinal phages are abundant and important components of gut microbiota, yet the isolated
and characterized representatives that infect abundant gut bacteria are sparse. Here we …

Phages are highly abundant in the human gut, yet most of them remain uncultured. Here, we
present a gut phage isolate collection (GPIC) containing 209 phages for 42 commensal …

ΦCrAss001, isolated from human faecal material, is the first member of the extensive
crAssphage family to be grown in pure culture. The bacteriophage infects the human gut …

Currently, interest in phage science is on the rise again as this subject remains largely
unexplored, and its potential diversity mainly untapped. Here, we present phage vB_BsuP …

Bacteroides fragilis is a commensal gut bacterium that is associated with a number of blood
and tissue infections. It has not yet been recognized as one of the drug-resistant human …
