“…Recent studies have shown that bacteria and phages can rapidly coevolve during model phage therapy treatments (Betts, Vasse, Kaltz, & Hochberg, 2013; Friman et al., 2016) and that the diversity of phage communities can affect the bacterial resistance evolution (Betts, Gifford, MacLean, & King, 2016; Hall, De Vos, Friman, Pirnay, & Buckling, 2012). Besides rapid coevolution, further complications could arise from interspecific bacterial competition due to polymicrobial nature of bacterial infections: many human infections contain multiple different pathogenic bacterial and other microbial species (Peters, Jabra‐Rizk, O'May, Costerton, & Shirtliff, 2012). Considerable genotypic variation also exists between different strains of a pathogen, and this variation is known to differ between different patients and to affect the pathogen susceptibility to phages (Debarbieux et al., 2010; Essoh et al., 2013; Friman, Ghoul, Molin, Johansen, & Buckling, 2013).…”
