Phage Inhibit Pathogen Dissemination by Targeting Bacterial Migrants in a Chronic Infection Model
The microbial communities inhabiting chronic infections are often composed of spatially organized micrometer-sized, highly dense aggregates. It has recently been hypothesized that aggregates are responsible for the high tolerance of chronic infections to host immune functions and antimicrobial thera...
