Intestinal colonization by enteroaggregative Escherichia coli supports long‐term bacteriophage replication in mice
28 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages have been known to be present in the gut for many years, but studies of relationships between these viruses and their hosts in the intestine are still in their infancy. We isolated three bacteriophages specific for an enteroaggregative O104:H4 Escherichia coli (EAEC) strain responsible for diarrhoeal diseases in humans. We studied the replication of these bacteriophages in vitro and in vivo in a...
