Potential for Phages in the Treatment of Bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infections
Antibiotics, 2021 Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (BSTIs) are becoming increasingly significant with the approach of a post-antibiotic era. While treatment options dwindle, the transmission of many notable BSTIs, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia ...

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.

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 ...

Bacteriophage trigger antiviral immunity and prevent clearance of bacterial infection
Science, 2019 Phage subverts immune response Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a multidrug-resistant Gramnegative bacterium commonly found in health care settings. Pa infections frequently result in considerable morbidity and mortality. Sweere et al. found that a type of

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 ...
