Abstract
Bacteriophages are the most abundant entity on the planet and play very relevant roles in the diversity and abundance of their bacterial hosts. These interactions are subject to several factors, such as the first encounter of the phage with its host bacterium, in which molecular interactions are fundamental. Along with this, these interactions depend on the environment and other communities present. This chapter focuses on these phage-bacteria interactions, reviewing the knowledge of the early stage (receptor-binding proteins), host responses (resistance and counter-resistance), and ecological and evolutionary models described to date. In general, knowledge has focused on a few phage-bacteria models and has been deepened by sequencing and metagenomics. The study of phage-bacteria interactions is an essential step for the development of therapies and other applications of phages in the clinical and productive environment.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 November 2023.
All research outputs
#8,372,384
of 25,013,816 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#2,591
of 14,082 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#35,873
of 116,435 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#17
of 192 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,013,816 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,082 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 116,435 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 192 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
