Integrating bacterial and viral genomic information enhances and extends the machine learning predictions of bacteriophage activity against pathogenic Escherichia coli

This paper develops a machine learning model that integrates bacterial and viral genomic data to predict phage activity against E. coli, improving prediction accuracy by incorporating phage gene content.

Quorum sensing and capsule expression enable subpopulation evasion of phage killing in Escherichia coli ST131: Implications for targeted therapy

This study identifies mechanisms by which E. coli ST131 evades phage killing through quorum sensing and capsule expression, and develops a phage therapy strategy to overcome these defenses in urine-based conditions.
