Emerging Phage Resistance in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAO1 Is Accompanied by an Enhanced Heterogeneity and Reduced Virulence

Emerging Phage Resistance in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAO1 Is Accompanied by an Enhanced Heterogeneity and Reduced Virulence

Bacterial surface structures of a proteinic nature and glycoconjugates contribute to biofilm formation and provide shields to host defense mechanisms (e.g., the complement system and phagocytosis). A loss or alteration of these molecules, leading to phage resistance, could result in fewer virulent b...
