How Interest in Phages Has Bloomed into a Leading Medical Research Activity in Poland
Viruses, 2022 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

Mechanisms and clinical importance of bacteriophage resistance
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2021 We are in the midst of a golden age of uncovering defense systems against bacteriophages. Apart from the fundamental interest in these defense systems, and revolutionary applications that have been derived from them (e.g.

Viruses, 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]
Journal 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]
, 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
Viruses, 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
Cells, 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.

Bacteriophage-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are resensitized to antimicrobials
Nature Microbiology, 2021 We characterized two bacteriophages, ΦFG02 and ΦCO01, against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and established that the bacterial capsule is the receptor for these phages.

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