Long-term persistence of crAss-like phage crAss001 is associated with phase variation in Bacteroides intestinalis

Abstract Background The crAss-like phages are ubiquitous and highly abundant members of the human gut virome that infect commensal bacteria of the order Bacteroidales. Although incapable of lysogeny, these viruses demonstrate long-term persistence in the human gut microbiome, dominating the virome i...
