Fitness costs of phage-driven resistance mutations in Salmonella Enteritidis populations.

Abstract excerpt

In the post-antibiotic era, bacteriophages have emerged as viable alternatives for combating antibiotic-resistant infections. Analogous to the emergence of antibiotic resistance, bacteria can also develop resistance to phages, a process often accompanied by a reduction in bacterial fitness. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms behind the development of phage resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar...
