Abstract excerpt
Phage therapy is a promising method for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, its long-term efficacy depends on understanding the evolutionary effects of the treatment. Current knowledge of such evolutionary effects is lacking, even in well-studied systems. We used the bacterium Escherichia coli C and its bacteriophage ΦX174, which infects cells using host lipopolysaccharide (LPS)...
