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.

Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion

Experimental test of connector rotation during DNA packaging into bacteriophage phi29 capsids [PDF]
, 2007 The bacteriophage phi29 generates large forces to compact its double-stranded DNA genome into a protein capsid by means of a portal motor complex. Several mechanical models for the generation of these high forces by the motor complex predict coupling of ...

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.
