Screening of the PA14NR Transposon Mutant Library Identifies Genes Involved in Resistance to Bacteriophage Infection in Pseudomomas aeruginosa by Ho, Peiying, Dam, Linh Chi, Koh, Wei Ren Ryanna, Nai, Rui Si, Nah, Qian Hui, Rajaie Fizla, Faeqa Binte Muhammad, Chan, Chia Ching, Aung, Thet Tun, Goh, Shin Giek, Fang, You, Lim, Zhining, Koh, Ming Guang, Demott, Michael, Boucher, Yann Felix, Malleret, Benoit, Gin, Karina Yew-Hoong, Dedon, Peter, Moreira, Wilfried

“…Functional experiments demonstrated that these genes played pivotal roles in phage adsorption and biofilm formation, indicating that altering the bacterial membrane composition commonly leads to phage resistance in P. aeruginosa. Importantly, these mutants displayed phenotypic trade-offs, as their resistance to phages inversely affected antibiotic resistance and hindered biofilm formation, shedding light on the complex interplay between phage susceptibility and bacterial fitness. …”
