Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: In this work, we identified the putative receptors of 16 Pseudomonas phages and evaluated how resistance to phages recognizing different bacterial receptors may affect the virulence. Our findings are relevant for the implementation of phage therapy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, which are difficult to treat with antibiotics. Overall, our results highlight the need to modify natural phages to...
