James Gurney (Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues published a new paper on 'phage steering': when phages are used to push pathogens to evolve to be less antibiotic-resistant. They show that Pseudomonas phage OMKO1 effectively pushes P. aeruginosa to be more antibiotic-sensitive, even in the presence of antibiotics (and even after > 70 generations of continuous phage exposure)!
