Phage–phage competition and biofilms affect interactions between two virulent bacteriophages and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract excerpt

Virulent bacteriophages (or phages) are viruses that specifically infect and lyse a bacterial host. When multiple phages co-infect a bacterial host, the extent of lysis and dynamics of bacteria-phage and phage-phage interactions are expected to vary. The objective of this study is to identify the factors influencing the interaction of two virulent phages with different Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth states...
