Bacteriophage and antibacterial innate immunity in health and disease
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Bacteriophages—viruses produced by bacteria—are among the most abundant and well-studied organisms on earth. However, the phages within the human body are only beginning to be explored. Despite extensive explorations of other components of the microbiome, the human phageome—our endogenous bacteriophages—remains a scientific frontier. The phageome is only beginning to be characterized for many organs and disease states. Direct interactions between phages and human immune responses are similarly just beginning to be systematically investigated. Here, we explore the interplay between our endogenous phages and their interactions with the mammalian innate immune system during bacterial infection.
