is an important foodborne pathogen and the causative agent of Listeriosis, a potentially fatal infection. Several hundred bacteriophages have been described over the past decades, but only few have actually been characterized in some detail, and genome sequences are available for less than twenty of them. We here present an overview of what is currently known about phage genomics, their role in host evolution and pathogenicity, and their various applications in biotechnology and diagnostics.
是一种重要的食源性病原体,也是李斯特菌病的病原体,李斯特菌病是一种潜在的致命感染。在过去几十年里,已经描述了数百种噬菌体,但实际上只有少数几种得到了详细的表征,其中不到20种有基因组序列。我们在此概述目前关于噬菌体基因组学、它们在宿主进化和致病性中的作用以及它们在生物技术和诊断中的各种应用的已知情况。
