Biological Properties of 12 Newly Isolated Acinetobacter baumannii-Specific Bacteriophages
Viruses, 2023 Infections with the opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii pose a serious threat today, which is aggravated by the growing problem of multi-drug resistance among bacteria, caused by the overuse of antibiotics.

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2001 ▪ Abstract In 1917, bacteriophages were recognized as epizootic infections of bacteria and were almost immediately deployed for antibacterial therapy and prophylaxis. The early trials of bacteriophage therapy for infectious diseases were confounded, however, because the biological nature of bacteriophage was poorly understood.

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.

Bacteriophages and their genomes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Virology, 2011 Bacteriophages occupy a unique position in biology, representing an absolute majority of all organisms in the biosphere. Because their genomes are relatively small, elucidating the genetic diversity of the phage population, deciphering their origins, and identifying the evolutionary mechanisms that shape the population would seem readily feasible.

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 ...

Phage Prevalence in the Human Urinary Tract—Current Knowledge and Therapeutic Implications
Microorganisms, 2020 Recent metagenomic analyses imply an immense abundance of phages in the human body. Samples collected from different sites (lungs, skin, oral cavity, intestines, ascitic fluid, and urine) reveal a generally greater number of phage particles than that of ...

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.

Cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of gene 16 of salmonella bacteriophage P22 [PDF]
, 1992 Umlauf B, Dreiseikelmann B. Cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of gene 16 of salmonella bacteriophage P22. Virology. 1992;188(2):495-501.It has been suggested that gene product 16 of bacteriophage P22 forms a pore for DNA transfer and/or that it ...
