Phage mobility is a core determinant of phage-bacteria coexistence in biofilms

M. Simmons, K. Drescher, C. Nadell, V. Bucci

This study develops a biofilm simulation framework to explore how phage mobility affects coexistence with bacteria in biofilms, finding that phage diffusion through the biofilm matrix is a key determinant of their interaction dynamics.
