Tripartite species interaction: eukaryotic hosts suffer more from phage susceptible than from phage resistant bacteria

BACKGROUND: Evolutionary shifts in bacterial virulence are often associated with a third biological player, for instance temperate phages, that can act as hyperparasites. By integrating as prophages into the bacterial genome they can contribute accessory genes, which can enhance the fitness of their...
