Coliphages of the human urinary microbiota. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Due to its frequent association with urinary tract infections (UTIs), Escherichia coli is the best characterized constituent of the urinary microbiota (urobiome). However, uropathogenic E. coli is just one member of the urobiome. In addition to bacterial
