Interactions of antiphage defense systems in the ESKAPE pathogen plasmids.

Findings highlight the contribution of plasmids to the dissemination of phage-resistance traits, underscore the importance of the mobilome in shaping phage-resistance landscapes in multidrug-resistant pathogens, and support the incorporation of plasmid defense profiling into phage therapy design.

R-pyocin-mediated selection reverses pan-drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

It is demonstrated that R-pyocins can be leveraged not merely as conventional biocides, but as precise selective forces to drive an evolutionary “checkmate” strategy, establishing a framework for using R-pyocins to force predictable evolutionary trade-offs, driving the reversion of multidrug resistance to an attenuated...

Genomic characterization and phage cocktail suppression of a multidrug-resistant Vibrio sinaloensis isolate from diseased shrimp

ABSTRACT Vibrio sinaloensis has been reported in association with disease events in aquaculture, yet its genomic features and non-antibiotic suppression strategies remain largely unexplored. Here, we report genomic characterization of a multidrug-resistant V. sinaloensis strain, ZZ006, isolated from diseased shrimp and...

crAssphage: the sentinel of phages carrying antimicrobial resistance genes in water systems

Comparative analyses across wastewater, sludge, and food matrices demonstrate that crAssphage mirrors ARG trends, remaining detectable even when conventional bacteria decline, and support integrating crAss-like phages as functional indicators in environmental surveillance frameworks.
