Abstract excerpt
The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant Shigella dysenteriae strains necessitates new therapeutic approaches, such as phage therapy. Phages are considered a promising adjunct to antibiotics. The rapid emergence of phage-resistant bacterial mutants represents a major challenge in clinical practice. Nevertheless, this sometimes comes with fitness trade-offs. Thus, understanding the fitness trade-offs is crucial...
