The growth of bacteriophage [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1939
1. An anti-Escherichia coli phage has been isolated and its behavior studied. 2. A plaque counting method for this phage is described, and shown to give a number of plaques which is proportional to the phage concentration.

Social Bacteriophages [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Despite their simplicity, viruses can display social-like interactions such as cooperation, communication, and cheating. Focusing on bacteriophages, here we review features including viral product sharing, cooperative evasion of antiviral defenses, prudent host exploitation, superinfection exclusion, and inter-phage peptide-mediated signaling. We argue

Campylobacter bacteriophages and bacteriophage therapy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Microbiology, 2011
Members of the genus Campylobacter are frequently responsible for human enteric disease with occasionally very serious outcomes. Much of this disease burden is thought to arise from consumption of contaminated poultry products. More than 80% of poultry in the UK harbour Campylobacter as a part of their intestinal flora.

Bacteriophage Assembly [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2011
Bacteriophages have been a model system to study assembly processes for over half a century. Formation of infectious phage particles involves specific protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, as well as large conformational changes of assembly precursors.

Transduction of bacteriophage lambda by bacteriophage T1 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1979
When bacteriophage T1 was grown on bacteriophage lambda-lysogenic cells, phenotypically mixed particles were formed which had the serum sensitivity, host range, and density of T1 but which gave rise to lambda phage. T1 packaged lambda genomes more efficiently both when the length of the prophage was less than that of wild-type lambda and when the host ...

Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion

From Host to Phage Metabolism: Hot Tales of Phage T4’s Takeover of E. coli

open access: yesViruses, 2018
The mechanisms by which bacteriophage T4 converts the metabolism of its E. coli host to one dedicated to progeny phage production was the subject of decades of intense research in many labs from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Phage Interactions with the Nervous System in Health and Disease

open access: yesCells, 2023
The central nervous system manages all of our activities (e.g., direct thinking and decision-making processes). It receives information from the environment and responds to environmental stimuli.

Real-Time qPCR as a Method for Detection of Antibody-Neutralized Phage Particles

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The most common method for phage quantitation is the plaque assay, which relies on phage ability to infect bacteria. However, non-infective phage particles may preserve other biological properties; specifically, they may enter interactions with the ...

Phages as a Cohesive Prophylactic and Therapeutic Approach in Aquaculture Systems

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Facing antibiotic resistance has provoked a continuously growing focus on phage therapy. Although the greatest emphasis has always been placed on phage treatment in humans, behind phage application lies a complex approach that can be usefully adopted by ...
