Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy is widespread—extending to Pseudomonas—but varies by phage, host strain, and antibiotic pairing by Rabia Fatima, Alexander P. Hynes

“…By contrast, ciprofloxacin and piperacillin were able to reduce the frequency of lysogeny, the former by inducing phages—as previously reported in E. coli. Curiously, synergy with piperacillin reduced lysogen survivors, but not by inducing the phages, suggesting an alternative mechanism for biasing the phage lysis-lysogeny equilibrium. …”
