Phageome Analysis of Bifidobacteria-Rich Samples

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Bifidobacteria are important early colonizers of the human intestinal tract. The relative abundance of bifidobacterial species may be modulated, in part, by bacteriophage activity. Metagenomic studies of these populations is a crucial step in understanding this important interaction. This chapter outlines the technical instructions required to analyze the virome of a bifidobacteria-rich sample, for example, an infant fecal sample.
