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 ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

In Vitro Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Phage VA7 against Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis Infection

Viruses, 2021
Since the beginning of the 20th century, bacteriophages (phages), i.e., viruses that infect bacteria, have been used as antimicrobial agents for treating various infections. Phage preparations targeting a number of bacterial pathogens are still in use in

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.

A viral genome packaging ring-ATPase is a flexibly coordinated pentamer

Nature Communications, 2021
In viruses, multi-subunit ring-ATPases are involved in genome packaging. Here, using single-molecule techniques, the authors determine that the active bacteriophage T4 DNA packaging motor is a pentamer and show that the motor can tolerate inactive ...

Bronisława Fejgin (1883–1943): Forgotten Important Contributor to International Microbiology and Phage Therapy

Antibiotics, 2021
Bronisława Brandla Fejgin was a Polish-born Jewish female physician. Among Fejgin’s numerous articles in the field of microbiology, her later work was almost entirely devoted to phage research.

Temperate Bacteriophages—The Powerful Indirect Modulators of Eukaryotic Cells and Immune Functions

Viruses, 2021
Bacteriophages are natural biological entities that limit the growth and amplification of bacteria. They are important stimulators of evolutionary variability in bacteria, and currently are considered a weapon against antibiotic resistance of bacteria ...
