Ecological memory preserves phage resistance mechanisms in bacteria
One might think that complete extinction of a virulent pathogen is the most effective way of saving a population. For a bacteria-phage system, Skanata and Kussell show that sustaining a minimum pathogen level is actually favorable to prevent a complete loss of immunity in the long run.
