Abstract

In nature, phages frequently coinfect bacteria, leading to inter-species competition. Furthermore, phage therapy often involves using a cocktail of different species to circumvent bacterial resistance. Bürkle et al. investigated the competition dynamics between two virulent phages, demonstrating that faster assembly can allow a phage to dominate over its competitor.

快速噬菌体通过消耗宿主资源来竞争。

在自然界中，噬菌体经常同时感染细菌，导致物种间竞争。此外，噬菌体治疗通常涉及使用不同物种的鸡尾酒来规避细菌耐药性。b rkle等人研究了两种毒性噬菌体之间的竞争动态，证明更快的组装可以使噬菌体在其竞争对手中占据主导地位。
