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

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 ...

Bronisława Fejgin (1883–1943): Forgotten Important Contributor to International Microbiology and Phage Therapy

Antibiotics, 2021
Bronisława Brandla Fejgin was a Polish-born Jewish female physician. Among Fejgin’s numerous articles in the field of microbiology, her later work was almost entirely devoted to phage research.

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 ...

Phages in Therapy and Prophylaxis of American Foulbrood – Recent Implications From Practical Applications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
American foulbrood is one of the most serious and yet unsolved problems of beekeeping around the world, because it causes a disease leading to the weakening of the vitality of honey bee populations and huge economic losses both in agriculture and ...

Genomewide Patterns of Substitution in Adaptively Evolving Populations of the RNA Bacteriophage MS2 [PDF]

, 2009
Experimental evolution of bacteriophage provides a powerful means of studying the genetics of adaptation, as every substitution contributing to adaptation can be identified and characterized.

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 ...
