Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disease and has been shown to involve alteration of the gut microbiota. Previous studies have primarily focused on changes in the bacterial microbiome, while ignoring the phage community composition. Extracellular phages can lyse host bacteria and thus influence the microbiota through positive or negative interactions with bacteria. We investigated changes in the extracellular phageome and discussed its role in T2D pathogenesis. We used a sequencing-based a ...[more]
