Bacteriophage Adherence to Mucus Mediates Preventive Protection against Pathogenic Bacteria

Metazoans were proposed to host bacteriophages on their mucosal surfaces in a symbiotic relationship, where phages provide an external immunity against bacterial infections and the metazoans provide phages a medium for interacting with bacteria. However, scarce empirical evidence and model systems h...
