Multiple phase-variable mechanisms, including capsular polysaccharides, modify bacteriophage susceptibility in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

N. T. Porter, A. J. Hryckowian, B. D. Merrill, J. J. Fuentes, J. O. Gardner, R. W. P. Glowacki, S. Singh, R. D. Crawford, E. S. Snitkin, J. L. Sonnenburg, E. C. Martens

This study shows that capsular polysaccharides and other phase-variable cell surface structures in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron influence bacteriophage susceptibility, enabling bacterial persistence through phase variation.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-infecting bacteriophage isolates inform sequence-based host range prediction

A. J. Hryckowian, B. D. Merrill, N. T. Porter, W. Van Treuren, E. J. Nelson, R. A. Garlena, D. A. Russell, E. C. Martens, J. L. Sonnenburg

The paper isolates and analyzes 27 bacteriophages infecting Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, identifies phage structural gene alleles linked to infectivity, and highlights unexplored phage diversity in the human gut.
