Insertion sequence-mediated phage resistance contributes to attenuated colonization of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis variants in the gut

ABSTRACT Specific elimination of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis from the intestinal microbiota by bacteriophages (phages) attenuates ethanol-induced liver disease in pre-clinical studies; however, other clinical phage therapy studies have reported the occurrence of phage-resistant variants. Here, w...
