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 ...

Characterization of newly isolated lytic bacteriophages active against Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2014 Based on genotyping and host range, two newly isolated lytic bacteriophages, myovirus vB_AbaM_Acibel004 and podovirus vB_AbaP_Acibel007, active against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains, were selected from a new phage library for further ...

Phage-Phagocyte Interactions and Their Implications for Phage Application as Therapeutics
Viruses, 2017 Phagocytes are the main component of innate immunity. They remove pathogens and particles from organisms using their bactericidal tools in the form of both reactive oxygen species and degrading enzymes—contained in granules—that are potentially toxic ...

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 ...

Osmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage [PDF]
, 2008 Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I on the course of ejection.

Successful Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus Prosthetic Joint Infection with Bacteriophage Therapy
Viruses, 2021 Successful joint replacement is a life-enhancing procedure with significant growth in the past decade. Prosthetic joint infection occurs rarely; it is a biofilm-based infection that is poorly responsive to antibiotic alone.
