Resistance of <i>Dickeya solani</i> strain IPO 2222 to lytic bacteriophage vB_Dsol_D5 (ΦD5) results in fitness tradeoffs for the bacterium during infection
2022-02-23
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to bacteriophage infections protects bacteria in phage-full environments, allowing them to survive and multiply in the presence of their viral predators. However, such resistance may cause direct costs for strains linked with the ecological fitness expressed as reduced competitiveness for resources or reduced virulence or both. Unfortunately, limited knowledge exists about such costs paid by phage-resis...
