Phage-host interplay: examples from tailed phages and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens

Complex interactions between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts play significant roles in shaping the structure of environmental microbial communities, not only by genetic transduction but also by modification of bacterial gene expression patterns. Survival of phages solely depends on their ab...
