Filamentous bacteriophages: impact on prokaryotic virulence, eukaryotic immunity, and implications for phage therapy

Filamentous bacteriophages, of the family Inoviridae , are characterized by their reproduction and secretion by their bacterial hosts without killing them. These viruses have evolved mutualistic relationships with their bacterial hosts by impacting bacterial phenotypes in a variety of ways, including biofilm format...
