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 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.

Mechanisms and clinical importance of bacteriophage resistance
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2021 We are in the midst of a golden age of uncovering defense systems against bacteriophages. Apart from the fundamental interest in these defense systems, and revolutionary applications that have been derived from them (e.g.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Campylobacter bacteriophages and bacteriophage therapy. [PDF]
Journal of applied microbiology, 2011 Members of the genus Campylobacter are frequently responsible for human enteric disease with occasionally very serious outcomes. Much of this disease burden is thought to arise from consumption of contaminated poultry products. More than 80% of poultry in the UK harbour Campylobacter as a part of their intestinal flora.

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 ...

Do Anti-Phage Antibodies Persist after Phage Therapy? A Preliminary Report
Antibiotics, 2022 Phages are immunogenic and may evoke an immune response following their administration. Consequently, patients undergoing phage therapy (PT) produce phage-neutralizing serum antibodies.
