Although bacteriophages are highly abundant in the gut microbiome, little is known about their potential effects on gut bacteria. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Hryckowian et al. (2020) and Fujimoto et al. (2020) combined metagenomic analysis and experiments to study phage-bacteria associations in order to develop future research tools and therapies.

噬菌体协会：分析。比赛。制定疗法。

尽管噬菌体在肠道微生物组中高度丰富，但对其对肠道细菌的潜在影响知之甚少。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中，Hryckowian等人。（2020）和Fujimoto等。（2020）结合宏基因组学分析和实验来研究噬菌体-细菌的关联，以发展未来的研究工具和疗法。
