Abstract

Khan Mirzeai et al. describe the distinct gut bacteriophage communities of stunted and non-stunted young Bangladeshi children. In vitro, these bacteriophages regulate bacterial communities in an age-specific manner. This work highlights the potential of bacteriophages for changing the gut bacterial community in child stunting.
