Characterization of crAss-like phage isolates highlights Crassvirales genetic heterogeneity and worldwide distribution

Abstract Crassvirales (crAss-like phages) are an abundant group of human gut-specific bacteriophages discovered in silico. The use of crAss-like phages as human fecal indicators is proposed but the isolation of only seven cultured strains of crAss-like phages to date has greatly hindered their study...
