Modelling the synergistic effect of bacteriophage and antibiotics on bacteria: Killers and drivers of resistance evolution.

Bacteriophage (phage) are bacterial predators that can also spread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes between bacteria by generalised transduction. Phage are often present alongside antibiotics in the environment, yet evidence of their joint killing effect on bacteria is conflicted, and the dynami...
