Abstract excerpt
Phage resistance represents a major obstacle to the clinical application of phage therapy for multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. A comprehensive understanding of the phenotypic heterogeneity and molecular mechanisms underlying phage resistance is critical for deciphering bacterium-phage interactions and optimizing therapeutic strategies. In this study, we identified four distinct resistance phenotypes in...
