Abstract excerpt
Parasite-host co-evolution results in population extinction or co-existence, yet the factors driving these distinct outcomes remain elusive. In this study, Salmonella strains were individually co-evolved with the lytic phage SF1 for 30 days, resulting in phage extinction or co-existence. We conducted a systematic investigation into the phenotypic and genetic dynamics of evolved host cells and phages to elucidate...
