Phage–Bacterial Interaction Alters Phenotypes Associated with Virulence in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>

Bacteriophages exert strong selection on their bacterial hosts to evolve resistance. At the same time, the fitness costs on bacteria following phage resistance may change their virulence, which may affect the therapeutic outcomes of phage therapy. In this study, we set out to assess the costs of pha...
