Bacteriophage populations mirror those of bacterial pathogens at sites of infection

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages, viruses that parasitize bacteria, are known to be abundant at sites of bacterial colonization, but the relationship between phages and bacteria at sites of infection is unclear. Bacteriophages are highly specific to their bacterial host species, and so we hypothesize that ph...
