Phage Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 Evolves via Diverse Mutations That Culminate in Impaired Adsorption
ABSTRACT The evolution of phage resistance poses an inevitable threat to the efficacy of phage therapy.The strategic selection of phage combinations that impose high genetic barriers to resistance and/or high compensatory fitness costs may mitigate this threat.However, for such a strategy to be effective, the evolution of phage resistance must be s
