Phage resistance of Bordetella avium due to an altered cell wall results in increased susceptibility to the polypeptide antibiotics colistin and polymyxin B.

Abstract excerpt

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens are becoming increasingly frequent, so alternative therapeutic strategies such as phage therapy are gaining in importance. However, one of the main challenges in phage therapy is the rapid emergence of phage-resistant bacteria. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of phage resistance in Bordetella avium, the causative agent of bordetellosis in...
