This study investigates how cinnamaldehyde inhibits quorum sensing in K. pneumoniae to reduce phage resistance by proteomic analysis and infection assays.

This study shows that mucin promotes phage resistance in K. pneumoniae, but mucolytic agents like NAC reduce this resistance, suggesting their potential use in phage therapy.

The paper analyzes 50 temperate bacteriophages from carbapenemase-producing E. coli isolates, classifying them into viral families and identifying functional features and potential plasmid-like properties.
