Recent advances in bacteriophage-based therapeutics: Insight into the post-antibiotic era
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, as it can make the treatment of bacterial infections in humans difficult owing to their high incidence rate, mortality, and treatment costs.

Structural Studies on Bacteriophage Portal Proteins [PDF]
In tailed bacteriophages and evolutionarily related herpes viruses, the portal protein is a central component of the DNA packaging molecular motor, which translocates viral genomic DNA into a preformed procapsid.

Bacteriophage T4 Escapes CRISPR Attack by Minihomology Recombination and Repair
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria and use them as replication factories to assemble progeny phages. Bacteria have evolved powerful defense mechanisms to destroy the invading phages by severing their genomes soon after entry into ...

The authors emphasize how extremely important it is to highlight the role played by animal models in an attempt to determine possible phage interactions with the organism into which it was introduced as well as to determine the safety and effectiveness ...

Human β-Defensin 2 and Its Postulated Role in Modulation of the Immune Response
Studies described so far suggest that human β-defensin 2 is an important protein of innate immune response which provides protection for the human organism against invading pathogens of bacterial, viral, fungal, as well as parasitical origin. Its pivotal

THE GROWTH OF BACTERIOPHAGE [PDF]
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. The number of plaques is shown to be independent of agar concentration, temperature of plate incubation, and ...

How Interest in Phages Has Bloomed into a Leading Medical Research Activity in Poland
Poland has a leading position in phage therapy, as reflected by the number of patients treated and relevant publications in quality journals. The Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences was established by Ludwik

Transduction of bacteriophage lambda by bacteriophage T1 [PDF]
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 ...
