Phage Cocktail Development against <i>Aeromonas salmonicida</i> subsp. <i>salmonicida</i> Strains Is Compromised by a Prophage

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing food production sector. Fish farmers are experiencing increasing problems with antibiotic resistance when fighting against pathogenic bacteria such as <i>Aeromonas salmonicida</i> subsp. <i>salmonicida</i>, the causative agent of furunculosis....
