Bacteriophages: double-edged swords
How gut bacteriophage-host interactions could complicate phage therapies
March 14, 2019 12:47 PM UTC
Utah researchers have shown bacteriophage-host immune interactions can trigger adverse immune responses in GI diseases, a factor phage companies may need to take into account.
Phage researchers have long thought mammalian host immunity recognizes the bacteria-targeting viruses, but few studies have elucidated those interactions and none has examined them in animal models of disease...
