Cross-reactivity between tumor MHC class I–restricted antigens and an enterococcal bacteriophage
Science, 2020 Phages and cancer immunity Gut bacteria are involved in the education of T cell immune responses, and the intestinal ecosystem influences anticancer immunity. Fluckiger et al. report microbial antigens that might cross-react with antigens associated with

Viruses, 2018 A potential concern with bacteriophage (phage) therapeutics is a host-versus-phage response in which the immune system may neutralize or destroy phage particles and thus impair therapeutic efficacy, or a strong inflammatory response to repeated phage ...

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]
, 2019 Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

The Presence of Bacteriophages in the Human Body: Good, Bad or Neutral?
Microorganisms, 2020 The presence of bacteriophages (phages) in the human body may impact bacterial microbiota and modulate immunity. The role of phages in human microbiome studies and diseases is poorly understood.

Potential for Phages in the Treatment of Bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infections
Antibiotics, 2021 Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (BSTIs) are becoming increasingly significant with the approach of a post-antibiotic era. While treatment options dwindle, the transmission of many notable BSTIs, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia ...

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]
, 2014 Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...
