The use of lytic plasmid-associated sex pilus-specific bacteriophages to drive microbial evolution towards loss of virulence
Due to an increasing of antibiotic resistance prevalence, several alternatives to antibiotics have been considered, including bacteriophages. This project investigates the potential of sex pilus-specific phage MS2 to drive loss and horizontal transfer of virulence plasmids from E. coli. The study as...
