ABSTRACT The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which are intended to halt bacterial growth or eliminate them, has unintentionally given rise to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a critical threat to global health. In the pursuit of alternative solutions, researchers have focused on type II toxin–antitoxin systems prevalent within ...

Unlocking the M13 (F1) virion : investigation into the role of pIII C domain of F specific filamentous bacteriophage in infection : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Filamentous phage adsorb to the host cells by binding of the N2 domain of pIII to the tip of the F pilus. Binding of N1 domain of pIII to the secondary receptor (Tol A), triggers the opening of the virion by a poorly understood mechanism.

Engineered Phagemids for Nonlytic, Targeted Antibacterial Therapies [PDF]
The increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections is creating a global public health threat. Because conventional antibiotic drug discovery has failed to keep pace with the rise of resistance, a growing need exists to develop novel ...

Studies on Bacteriophage M13 DNA. 1. A Cleavage Map of the M13 Genome [PDF]
A physical map of the bacteriophage M13 genome has been constructed on the basis of specific cleavage of M13 replicative form DNA by bacterial restriction endonucleases. The 13 fragments produced by the enzyme from Haemophilus aphirophilus (endonuclease R.Hap II) as well as the 10 fragments produced by the enzyme from Haemophilus aegyptius ...

Phage Therapy: Targeting the Gut Microbiota for the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical inflammatory condition whose severity is closely associated with both local pancreatic injury and systemic complications. Research indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis and subsequent bacterial translocation can exacerbate disease progression via the gut–pancreas axis, representing a critical ...

Identification of hepatitis a virus mimotopes by phage display, antigenicity and immunogenicity [PDF]
A phage-displayed peptide approach was used to identify ligands mimicking antigenic determinants of hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the first time. Bacteriophages displaying HAV mimotopes were isolated from a phage-display peptide library by affinity ...

Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.

DNA amplified fingerprinting, a useful tool for determination of genetic origin and diversity analysis in Citrus [PDF]
We used three short repetitive nucleotide sequences [(GTG)5, (TAC)5, and (GACA)4] either as radiolabeled probes for hybridization with restricted Citrus DNA or as single primers in polymerase chain reaction amplification experiments with total genomic ...

Studies on Bacteriophage M13 DNA. 2. The Gene Order of the M13 Genome [PDF]
The double-stranded replicative form DNA of bacteriophage M13 was cleaved into 13 specific fragments by the restriction endonuclease from Haemophilus aphirophilus. The individual DNA fragments from wild-type replicative form molecules were then annealed to circular, single-stranded DNAs of phage M13, bearing amber mutations as genetic markers.
