Second, high-host density stimulated by a high-growth rate cloud provide more chances of host cells encountering more virus species and enhances the virus adsorption rate [ 20 ], which may increase the probability in coinfection or even superinfection with diverse viruses in the host and generally modelled by Kill-the-Winner dynamic [ 21 ].

Cereus5
By mixing the E. coli phage PHH01 with motile B. cereus in a flow cell, phage reached and infected the E. coli in the submerged biofilm more effectively that in the absence of B. cereus . (asmblog.org)
In addition, when mixed with the phage, B. cereus colonized the preformed E. coli biofilm more effectively than in the absence of phage. (asmblog.org)
High over the biofilm they flow a solution that can contain either Bacillus cereus , the coliphage PHH01, or a mixture of both. (asmblog.org)
But when phage and B. cereus are mixed before entering the chamber, both reach the biofilm. (asmblog.org)
However, anthrax-like illness has been documented in welders and other metal workers infected with Bacillus cereus group spp. (cdc.gov)
