Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

▪ 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.

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

Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]
Viruses are extremely small infectious particles that are not visible in a light microscope, and are able to pass through fine porcelain filters. They exist in a huge variety of forms and infect practically all living systems: animals, plants ...

Antibiotics targeting bacterial protein synthesis reduce the lytic activity of bacteriophages
Combination therapy of bacteriophages and antibiotics requires careful selection of specific antibiotics as it is crucial towards determining the success of phage therapy to treat multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections.
