Abstract
Integrative phages can have myriad effects on bacterial hosts. Campbell et al. find that integration of Bacteroides phage BV01 into Bacteroides vulgatus disrupts expression of TspO, reducing bile acid deconjugation. This is predicted to affect gut colonization and interactions with the human host. BV01 belongs to the Salyersviridae family.
