A growing number of recent studies suggest that the contribution of phages to antibiotic resistance should not be underestimated. Here we describe their implications for public and environmental health, with a special emphasis on the mechanisms underlying phage-mediated horizontal gene transfer.
越来越多的最近研究表明,噬菌体对抗生素耐药性的贡献不应被低估。在这里,我们描述了它们对公共和环境健康的影响,特别强调了噬菌体介导的水平基因转移的机制。
