How do #bacteriophage life history strategies influence host invasion & inter- #phage competition in #biofilms? This study shows that spatial structure shapes invasion success, favoring temperate phages over lytic ones when diffusion is limited @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/47Aripq

Discovery of human gut #phage -encoded anti-CRISPR proteins unveils diverse mechanisms for phages to evade type II #CRISPR immunity.

Gut #phages encode diverse Acrs; 651 candidates found, including some with dual regulatory & CRISPR‑inhibitory roles.

Phage P100 resistance in clinical & foodborne Listeria monocytogenes isolates is associated with adsorption-inhibiting mutations & fitness trade-offs.

Study shows diverse P100 resistance mechanisms in #Listeria & significant serovar‑dependent fitness costs.
