Abstract excerpt
Lytic bacteriophages able to infect and kill Dickeya spp. can be readily isolated from virtually all Dickeya spp. containing environments, yet little is known about the selective pressure those viruses exert on their hosts. Two spontaneous D. solani IPO 2222 mutants (0.8% of all obtained mutants), DsR34 and DsR207, resistant to infection caused by lytic phage vB_Dsol_D5 (ΦD5) were identified in this study that...
