Virulent coliphages in 1-year-old children fecal samples are fewer, but more infectious than temperate coliphages
The impact of bacteriophages in the human gut microbiome remains poorly understood. Here, the authors characterize coliphages isolated from a large cohort of 1-year-old infants and show that temperate coliphages dominate, while virulent ones have greater infectivity and broader host range.
