Abstract excerpt
With the rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, bacterial infections have become an increasingly significant threat. Bacteriophages have the potential to complement the current treatment options. To ensure that phage biocontrol is efficient and long-lasting, the risk of resistance development must be minimized, and phage resistance mechanisms should be thoroughly investigated. In this study, a Tn5 transposon...
