Single-cell viral tagging was used to identify uncharacterized bacterial host–phage pairs present in the human faecal microbiome, revealing a lack of phages targeting more than one host species and a high level of cross-reactivity between hosts and phages from different subjects, despite subject-specific pairings, which could have implications for faecal microbiota transplants.
