Predictable induction responses of gut prophages

2026-06-26

Abstract excerpt

Temperate bacteriophages are dominant members of the human gut microbiome that can infect and lyse their bacterial hosts or integrate as prophages. During this integrated state, prophages exhibit extensive control over host physiology and lysis via induction. Here, we studied a diverse collection of Bacteroidales isolates, which are amongst the most abundant bacterial orders within the human gut, identifying 902...
