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.

Bacillus Phage vB_BtS_B83 Previously Designated as a Plasmid May Represent a New Siphoviridae Genus
Viruses, 2019 The Bacillus cereus group of bacteria includes, inter alia, the species known to be associated with human diseases and food poisoning. Here, we describe the Bacillus phage vB_BtS_B83 (abbreviated as B83) infecting the species of this group.

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.

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.

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 ...

Genomewide Patterns of Substitution in Adaptively Evolving Populations of the RNA Bacteriophage MS2 [PDF]
, 2009 Experimental evolution of bacteriophage provides a powerful means of studying the genetics of adaptation, as every substitution contributing to adaptation can be identified and characterized.

Phages as a Cohesive Prophylactic and Therapeutic Approach in Aquaculture Systems
Antibiotics, 2020 Facing antibiotic resistance has provoked a continuously growing focus on phage therapy. Although the greatest emphasis has always been placed on phage treatment in humans, behind phage application lies a complex approach that can be usefully adopted by ...

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 ...

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
