Abstract excerpt
The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threatens to become the leading cause of worldwide mortality. This crisis has renewed interest in the practice of phage therapy. Yet, bacteria's capacity to evolve resistance may debilitate this therapy as well. To combat the evolution of phage resistance and improve treatment outcomes, many suggest leveraging phages' ability to counter resistance by evolving phages...
