The gut virome: the ‘missing link’ between gut bacteria and host immunity? [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology, 2019 The human gut virome includes a diverse collection of viruses that infect our own cells as well as other commensal organisms, directly impacting on our well-being. Despite its predominance, the virome remains one of the least understood components of the
