DOI: 10.1186/s40168-018-0568-3
Abstract: BackgroundClostridiales and Bacteroidales are uniquely adapted to the gut environment and have co-evolved with their hosts resulting in convergent microbiome patterns within mammalian species. As a result, members of Clostridiales and Bacteroidales are particularly suitable… read more here.

Bacteriophages as Fecal Pollution Indicators
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Viruses"
DOI: 10.3390/v13061089
Abstract: Bacteriophages are promising tools for the detection of fecal pollution in different environments, and particularly for viral pathogen risk assessment. Having similar morphological and biological characteristics, bacteriophages mimic the fate and transport of enteric viruses.… read more here.
