Evolutionary consequences of intra-patient phage predation on microbial populations

Evolutionary consequences of intra-patient phage predation on microbial populations

The impact of phage predation on bacterial pathogens in the context of human disease is not currently appreciated. Here, we show that predatory interactions of a phage with an important environmentally transmitted pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, can modulate the evolutionary trajectory of this pathogen d...
