Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This research investigates the feasibility of 3D‐printing of a bacteriophage‐containing hydrogel made of alginate and methylcellulose. The printed hydrogels steadily release active bacteriophages for up to 35 days which is beneficial to treat implant‐associated infections.

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2011 The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]
, 2014 Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.M13 bacteriophage films deposited on micro interdigitated electrodes behave as a Randles simplified equivalent circuit under direct current. We derive contact and film resistance as well as capacitance of films of M13 phages, aromatic curli fibers or pilA‐containing nanowires.

Unlocking the M13 (F1) virion : investigation into the role of pIII C domain of F specific filamentous bacteriophage in infection : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2005 Filamentous phage adsorb to the host cells by binding of the N2 domain of pIII to the tip of the F pilus. Binding of N1 domain of pIII to the secondary receptor (Tol A), triggers the opening of the virion by a poorly understood mechanism.

DNA Sampling: a method for probing protein binding at specific loci on bacterial chromosomes [PDF]
, 2009 We describe a protocol, DNA sampling, for the rapid isolation of specific segments of DNA, together with bound proteins, from Escherichia coli K-12. The DNA to be sampled is generated as a discrete fragment within cells by the yeast I-SceI meganuclease ...
