Phage heteroresistance in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: impact of differentiated capsule expression on phage efficacy

Heteroresistance, commonly described in the context of antibiotics, refers to the presence of resistant subpopulations within a bacterial strain, and is recognized as a likely contributor to treatment failure. Whether population heterogeneity affects phage activity remains poorly understood. We investigated whether...
