[Dynamics of the interaction between Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage phimF81 and host bacteria]

The population interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulent bacteriophage phi mF81 with host bacterial cells were studied in dynamics under the conditions of continuous cultivation in the chemostat regime with glucose limitation. It was detected that a maintenance of the bacterium and its specific bacteriophage in the population was realized due to the successive appearance of bacterial mutants resistant to the phage and of phage mutants overcoming this resistance.
