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.

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 ...

Persistence of bacteriophage T4 in a starved Escherichia coli culture: evidence for the presence of phage subpopulations. [PDF]

, 2011
Bacteriophage T4 is able to adjust its development to the growth parameters of the host cell. Here, we present evidence for the production of two different subpopulations of phage particles, which differ in their ability to infect starved Escherichia ...

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.

In Vitro Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Phage VA7 against Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis Infection

Viruses, 2021
Since the beginning of the 20th century, bacteriophages (phages), i.e., viruses that infect bacteria, have been used as antimicrobial agents for treating various infections. Phage preparations targeting a number of bacterial pathogens are still in use in

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 ...

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 ...

The Sensitivity of Pseudomonas Agar Plaque Assay in the Isolation of Bacteriophage ?6 in the Environment: A pilot study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Bacteriophage Φ6 is a lipid-enveloped dsRNA bacteriophage. The limitations in our knowledge of how this bacteriophage occurs in the environment are limited by non-selective isolation techniques.

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.
