Urinary Plasmids Reduce Permissivity to Coliphage Infection
ABSTRACT The microbial community of the urinary tract (urinary microbiota or urobiota) has been associated with human health.Bacteriophages (phages) and plasmids present in the urinary tract, like in other niches, may shape urinary bacterial dynamics.While urinary Escherichia coli strains associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) and their phag
