Fitness Trade-Offs in Phage Cocktail-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Results in Increased Antibiotic Susceptibility and Reduced Virulence

ABSTRACT The rapid emergence of phage-resistant bacterial mutants is a major challenge for phage therapy. Phage cocktails have been considered one approach to mitigate this issue. However, the synergistic effect of randomly selected phages in the cocktails is ambiguous. Here, we rationally designed...
