Why should we care about which bacteria are infected by what phages? Because the underlying specificity for infection is key to predicting if an how phages will effect the bacterial populations and communities in which they are found. We review what is known, what we need to learn, and why it matters. We also present the results from Sean’s masters project, where he tested whether natural phages have narrow or broad host ranges. The answer: both!
