Abstract excerpt
Understanding the relationship between bacteriophage (phage) classification and target receptors is crucial for phage ecology and applied research. In this study, we compared 13 previously isolated Escherichia coli phages based on physiological characteristics, whole-genome sequences, and tail fiber protein phylogenetics. We improved our previously proposed physiological clustering method by optimizing the...
