Environmental bacteriophages active on biofilms and planktonic forms of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae: Potential relevance in cholera epidemiology

In cholera-endemic areas, toxigenic Vibrio cholerae persist in the aquatic ecosystem mostly in a biofilm-associated state in which the bacteria remain embedded in an exopolysaccharide matrix. The biofilm-associated cells often enter into a dormant form referred to as conditionally viable environment...
