P.3678 left column 3rd paragraph: "There is a dictum that phages are found where bacteria thrive. Thus, [investigators] should not be surprised that phages are found on us (skin) and within us (oral cavity, gut). In a survey of stool samples from 600 healthy adults, 34% of the subjects demonstrated coliphages (but only 1% showed high amounts) (primary source). Most of them were classified as temperate phages related to phage lambda." |
