Vibriosis causes substantial losses in marine and brackish-water aquaculture, while increasing antimicrobial resistance limits the effectiveness of conventional antibiotic treatment. Biofilm formation and quorum-sensing-controlled virulence further contribute to the persistence of pathogenic Vibrio species. Prophages i...
