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 ...

Microorganisms, 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

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

Bacteriophages and antibiotic interactions in clinical practice: what we have learned so far
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2022 Bacteriophages (phages) may be used as an alternative to antibiotic therapy for combating infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. In the last decades, there have been studies concerning the use of phages and antibiotics separately or in ...

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.

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.

Massive expansion of human gut bacteriophage diversity
bioRxiv, 2020 Bacteriophages drive evolutionary change in bacterial communities by creating gene flow networks that fuel ecological adaptions. However, the extent of viral diversity and prevalence in the human gut remains largely unknown.

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.
