Bacteriophage Therapy: Clinical Trials and Regulatory Hurdles

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Increasing reports of antimicrobial resistance and limited new antibiotic discoveries and development have fuelled innovation in other research fields and led to a revitalization of bacteriophage (phage) studies in the Western world. Phage therapy mainly

Phase-variable capsular polysaccharides and lipoproteins modify bacteriophage susceptibility in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Nature Microbiology, 2020
A variety of cell surface structures dictate interactions between bacteria and their environment, including their viruses (bacteriophages). Members of the human gut Bacteroidetes characteristically produce several phase-variable capsular polysaccharides (

Silencing Myostatin Using In Vivo Self‐Assembled siRNA Protects Against Cancer‐ and Dexamethasone‐Induced Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports an in vivo self‐assembled siRNA strategy that enables the liver to generate small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) tagged with a muscle‐targeting peptide (MSP) and naturally loaded with myostatin (MSTN)‐siRNA. These MSP‐tagged sEVs are systemically delivered to skeletal muscle, efficiently silence MSTN, promote muscle hypertrophy, and ...

Diversity of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere of Medicago marina: Myoviruses, Filamentous and N4-Like Podovirus [PDF]

, 2020
Using different Sinorhizobium meliloti strains as hosts, we isolated eight new virulent phages from the rhizosphere of the coastal legume Medicago marina.

Bacteriophage-resistant and bacteriophage-sensitive bacteria in a chemostat [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2012
In this paper a mathematical model of the population dynamics of a bacteriophage-sensitive and a bacteriophage-resistant bacteria in a chemostat where the resistant bacteria is an inferior competitor for nutrient is studied. The focus of the study is on persistence and extinction of bacterial strains and bacteriophage.

Integrin β4‐Enriched Small Extracellular Vesicle as Drug Delivery Vehicle for Targeting Pulmonary Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The expression of integrin β4 (ITGβ4) on small extracellular vesicle (sEV) correlates with lung‐tropism. Enrichment of ITGβ4 on sEVs enhances their lung‐targeting ability. The sEVs loaded with doxorubicin exhibit superior therapeutic efficacy in a lung metastasis mouse model.

Safety Studies of Pneumococcal Endolysins Cpl-1 and Pal

Viruses, 2018
Bacteriophage-derived endolysins have gained increasing attention as potent antimicrobial agents and numerous publications document the in vivo efficacy of these enzymes in various rodent models. However, little has been documented about their safety and

Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid: A Gateway for Targeted Killing of Staphylococcus aureus on the Race for Surface Colonization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thiolated hyaluronic acid (HAMS) synthesized and characterized by NMR, solubility, thiol content, and pKa, is degraded by Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase but not by mammalian hyaluronidase. Coating polyphosphate–M23 phage endolysin nanoparticles (M23‐PP) with HAMS confers Staphylococcus aureus responsiveness.

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]

, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...
