Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages (phages) are an integral part of the human oral microbiome. Their roles in modulating bacterial physiology and shaping microbial communities have been discussed but remain understudied due to limited isolation and characterization of oral phage. Here, we report the isolation of LC001, a lytic phage targeting human oral Schaalia odontolytica (formerly known as Actinomyces odontolyticus) strain...
