A polyvalent phage shapes bacterial dynamics.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria and the viruses that infect them (known as bacteriophages or phages) are important microbial ecosystem members. Antagonistic interactions between different bacteria or between bacteria and phages can profoundly impact population dynamics. Lytic phages are efficient killers that generally infect strains from a single genus or species. Polyvalent phages that target multiple unrelated hosts have been...
