Characterization of a Bacteriophage GEC_vB_Bfr_UZM3 Active against Bacteroides fragilis

Viruses, 2023
Bacteroides fragilis is a commensal gut bacterium that is associated with a number of blood and tissue infections. It has not yet been recognized as one of the drug-resistant human pathogens, but cases of the refractory infections, caused by strains that

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]

, 2020
Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).
