Abstract
Bacteriophages adhering to host mucus (BAM) “provide a previously unrecognized, non-host-derived, antibacterial immune defense applicable to all metazoan mucous surfaces,” according to Jeremy J. Barr at San Diego State University (SDSU) and his collaborators there as well as the University of California, San Diego. This is the first report of a direct symbiotic interaction between animals and phages, details of which can be found in the June 25, 2013 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (110:10771–10776).
