Bacteriophages and pathogenicity: more than just providing a toxin?

Colin R Tinsley¹, Emmanuelle Bille, Xavier Nassif.

Abstract

An increasing number of pathogenicity factors carried by bacteriophages have been discovered. This review considers bacteriophage-bacterium interaction and its relation to disease processes. We discuss the search for new bacteriophage-associated pathogenicity factors, with emphasis on recent advances brought by the use of genomic sequence data and the techniques of genomic epidemiology.
