Overcoming the growth–infectivity trade‐off in a bacteriophage slows bacterial resistance evolution
Abstract The use of lytic bacteriophages for treating harmful bacteria (phage therapy) is faced with the challenge of bacterial resistance evolution. Phage strains with certain traits, for example, rapid growth and relatively broad infectivity ranges, may enjoy an advantage in slowing bacterial resi...
