O157:H7 is a globally important foodborne pathogen with implications for food safety. Antibiotic treatment for O157 may potentially contribute to the exacerbation of hemolytic uremic syndrome, and the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains necessitates the development of new treatment strategies. In this study, the bactericidal effects and resistance development of antibiotic and bacteriophage monotherapy were compared with those of combination therapy against O157. Experiments involving continuous exposure of O157 to phages and antibiotics, along with genetic deletion studies, revealed that the deletion of and significantly increased resistance to fosfomycin. Furthermore, we found that OmpC functions as a receptor for the PP01 phage, which infects O157, and FhuA functions as a receptor for the newly isolated SP15 phage, targeting O157. In the and deletion mutants, additional deletion in , the receptor for the PP01 phage, increased resistance to fosfomycin. These findings suggest that specific phages may contribute to antibiotic resistance by selecting the emergence of gene mutations responsible for both phage and antibiotic resistance. While combination therapy with phages and antibiotics holds promise for the treatment of bacterial infections, careful consideration of phage selection is necessary.IMPORTANCEThe combination treatment of fosfomycin and bacteriophages against O157 demonstrated superior bactericidal efficacy compared to monotherapy, effectively suppressing the emergence of resistance. However, mutations selected by phage PP01 led to enhanced resistance not only to the phage but also to fosfomycin. These findings underscore the importance of exercising caution in selecting phages for combination therapy, as resistance selected by specific phages may increase the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
