Targeting of Mammalian Glycans Enhances Phage Predation in the Gastrointestinal Tract
2020-07-20
Abstract excerpt
The human mucosal surface consists of a eukaryotic epithelium, a prokaryotic microbiota, and a carbohydrate-rich interface that separates them. Bacteriophage parasitize the prokaryotes but are not known to associate with eukaryotic cells. In the gastrointestinal tract, the interaction of these two domains influences the health of the host, especially colonization with invasive pathobionts. Antibiotics may be used...
