Combinatorial phenotypic landscape enables bacterial resistance to phage infection
Anika Gupta, Norma M. Morella, Dmitry A. Sutormin…·Anna Kuchina
The paper profiles single-cell transcriptomes of Bacteroides fragilis infected with a phage, revealing combinatorial phase-variable expression of defense systems that enable super-resistant cells to avoid phage infection without mutations.
