Characterization of a plasmid dependent DNA phage targeting Escherichia coli harboring a conjugative plasmid and its impact on gut microbiota

Abstract The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria pose a significant global threat to public health. One of the main drivers of this spread is the horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes via conjugative plasmids. In this study, we isolated a novel phage, PDP46,...
