The Transcriptional Program of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Phage K Is Affected by a Host <i>rpoC</i> Mutation That Confers Phage K Resistance

To better understand host–phage interactions and the genetic bases of phage resistance in a model system relevant to potential phage therapy, we isolated several spontaneous mutants of the USA300 <i>S. aureus</i> clinical isolate NRS384 that were resistant to phage K. Six of these had a...
