Bacterial Strain Specificity in the Evolution of Mucoid Phage Resistance

Biological Sciences, Burmeister, Alita, College of Letters & Science, Mentor, Poster Presentation, School and College, Skinner, Chloe, Student

Chloe Skinner, “Bacterial Strain Specificity in the Evolution of Mucoid Phage Resistance” Mentor: Alita Burmeister, Biological Sciences Poster #170 Phage-resistance mutations occur rapidly in bacteria, preventing phage infection. One mutant phenotype we study, called mucoid, is also a virulence factor…… Read More
