Nanami Kubota (University of Pittsburgh) and colleagues published a new preprint on filamentous phage exploitation of bacteria, showing that mutant Pf phages can drive P. aeruginosa populations to lower fitness through superinfection and mi

Not much is known about filamentous phages, which chronically infect their hosts and can dramatically affect host physiology, but their genomes are starting to be detected by the hundreds. Jason Shapiro and Catherine Putonti (Loyola Univers
