Mucin modulates phage infection dynamics and biofilm formation in enteropathogenic <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i>

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Mucosal barriers serve as a multifunctional interface and nutrient-rich habitat for diverse microbes, including bacteria and bacteriophages. Some phages can bind to mucin glycoproteins via carbohydrate-interacting modules and provide an additional layer of mucosal immunity by shielding the underlying epithelium from invading bacteria. However, the role of mucins in shaping phage-bacterium interactions remains poor...
