The lytic bacteriophage vB_EfaH_EF1TV, a new member of the Herelleviridae family, disrupts biofilm produced by Enterococcus faecalis clinical strains

Objectives: The aim of this study is to characterize a new bacteriophage able to infect Enterococcus faecalis, and to evaluate its ability to disrupt biofilm. Methods: The vB_EfaH_EF1TV (EF1TV) host-range was determined by spot test and efficiency of plating using a collection of 15E. faecalis clini...
