Silk Route to the Acceptance and Re-Implementation of Bacteriophage Therapy—Part II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This perspective paper follows up on earlier communications on bacteriophage therapy that we wrote as a multidisciplinary and intercontinental expert-panel when we first met at a bacteriophage conference hosted by the Eliava Institute in Tbilisi, Georgia

Isolation and Characterization of a Bacteriophage Preying an Antifungal Bacterium

open access: yesPlant Pathology Journal, 2016
Several Bacillus species were isolated from rice field soils, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that Bacillus cereus was the most abundant. A strain named BC1 showed antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani. Bacteriophages infecting strain

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 ...

Cross-reactivity between tumor MHC class I–restricted antigens and an enterococcal bacteriophage

open access: yesScience, 2020
Phages and cancer immunity Gut bacteria are involved in the education of T cell immune responses, and the intestinal ecosystem influences anticancer immunity. Fluckiger et al. report microbial antigens that might cross-react with antigens associated with

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.

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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Structural proteins of Enterococcus faecalis bacteriophage φEf11 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
ϕEf11, a temperate Siphoviridae bacteriophage, was isolated by induction from a root canal isolate of Enterococcus faecalis. Sequence analysis suggested that the ϕEf11 genome included a contiguous 8 gene module whose function was related to head ...

Phage-Phagocyte Interactions and Their Implications for Phage Application as Therapeutics

open access: yesViruses, 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

open access: yesNature 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 ...
