Insertion sequence-mediated phage resistance contributes to attenuated colonization of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis variants in the gut
15 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Specific elimination of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis from the intestinal microbiota by bacteriophages (phages) attenuates ethanol-induced liver disease in pre-clinical studies; however, other clinical phage therapy studies have reported the occurrence of phage-resistant variants. Here, we assessed phage resistance using a cytolytic E. faecalis clinical isolate, EF01. After infecting EF01 with ΦEf2.1 (...
