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

Structural proteins of Enterococcus faecalis bacteriophage φEf11 [PDF]
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
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
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 ...
