Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages engage in complex dynamic interactions with their bacterial hosts and with each other. Bacteria have numerous mechanisms to resist phage infection, and phages must co-evolve by overcoming bacterial resistance or by choosing an alternative host. Phages also compete with each other, both during lysogeny by prophage-mediated defense against viral attack and by superinfection exclusion during lytic...
