Urinary bacteriophage cooperation with bacterial pathogens during human urinary tract infections supports lysogenic phage therapy by Mahmood Almosuli, Anna Kirtava, Archil Chkhotua, Lia Tsveniashvili, Nina Chanishvili, Sumaiya Safia Irfan, Emily Ng, Hope McIntyre, Adam J. Hockenberry, Robyn P. Araujo, Weidong Zhou, Ngoc Vuong, Barbara Birkaya, Lance Liotta, Alessandra Luchini

“…Although lysogeny plays an important role in bacterial physiology, its significance in diverse microbiomes remains unclear. Here, we tested the following hypotheses: 1) urinary microbiome phage populations switch to a higher relative proportion of temperate phages, and 2) the activity of the phage recombination machinery (integration/excision/transposition) is higher during human urinary tract infections (UTIs) than in non-infected urinary tracts. …”
