Genomic Analysis of 48 Paenibacillus larvae Bacteriophages [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 The antibiotic-resistant bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB), currently the most destructive bacterial disease in honeybees. Phages that infect P. larvae were isolated as early as the 1950s, but it is only in

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen
