With our colleagues of the Institut Pasteur Paris we sequenced and analysed the first genomes of the lytic phages LE3 and LE4 that can infect the saprophyte Leptospira biflexa using the lipopolysaccharide O-antigen as receptor. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the 48-kb LE3 and LE4 genomes are similar and contain 62% genes whose function cannot be … Lire la suite de New article describing the only lytic phages known to infect the spirochete Leptospira
