The Presence of Bacteriophages in the Human Body: Good, Bad or Neutral?

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Bacteriophage translocation [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2006
The occurrence of phages in the human body, especially in the gastrointestinal tract, raises the question of their potential role in the physiology and pathology of this system. Especially important is the issue of whether phages can pass the intestinal wall and migrate to lymph, peripheral blood, and internal organs and, if so, the effects such a ...

DNA ejection from bacteriophage: towards a general behavior for osmotic suppression experiments [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal E 24 (2007) 9-18, 2007
We present in this work in vitro measurements of the force ejecting DNA from two distinct bacteriophages (T5 and lambda) using the smotic-suppression technique. Our data are analyzed by revisiting the current theories of DNA packaging in spherical capsids.

Bacteriophage targeting of gut bacterium attenuates alcoholic liver disease

open access: yesNature, 2019
Chronic liver disease due to alcohol-use disorder contributes markedly to the global burden of disease and mortality1–3. Alcoholic hepatitis is a severe and life-threatening form of alcohol-associated liver disease.

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

open access: yesAntibiotics, 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.

From DNA sequence to application: possibilities and complications [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The development of sophisticated genetic tools during the past 15 years have facilitated a tremendous increase of fundamental and application-oriented knowledge of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their bacteriophages.

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

open access: yesViruses, 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 ...

Genome landscapes and bacteriophage codon usage [PDF]

open access: yesLucks JB, Nelson DR, Kudla GR, Plotkin JB (2008) Genome Landscapes and Bacteriophage Codon Usage. PLoS Computational Biology 4(2): e1000001, 2007
Across all kingdoms of biological life, protein-coding genes exhibit unequal usage of synonmous codons. Although alternative theories abound, translational selection has been accepted as an important mechanism that shapes the patterns of codon usage in prokaryotes and simple eukaryotes.
