This is relatively new area for me, but adaption in biology never ceases to amaze and intrigue me. This article provides a short overview of the interplay between phages and their bacterial hosts.

If you think of phage-host dynamics as a game of chess, an important strategy consists of phage anti-defence systems (ADSs). Find out how high-throughput approaches accelerate the discovery of ADSs to further our understanding of multi-drug resistance. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
