SUB-OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS PROLONG PHAGE EPIDEMICS IN BACTERIAL POPULATIONS

2022-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Infections by filamentous phages influence bacterial fitness in various ways. While phage-encoded accessory genes, e.g., virulence genes, can be highly beneficial, the production of viral particles is energetically costly and often reduces bacterial growth. Consequently, if costs outweigh benefits, bacteria evolve resistance which can shorten phage epidemics. Abiotic conditions are known to infl...
