Recent advances in bacteriophage-based therapeutics: Insight into the post-antibiotic era
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, as it can make the treatment of bacterial infections in humans difficult owing to their high incidence rate, mortality, and treatment costs.

Genomewide Patterns of Substitution in Adaptively Evolving Populations of the RNA Bacteriophage MS2 [PDF]
Experimental evolution of bacteriophage provides a powerful means of studying the genetics of adaptation, as every substitution contributing to adaptation can be identified and characterized.

The Future of Bacteriophage Therapy Will Promote Antimicrobial Susceptibility
Rising antimicrobial resistance severely limits efforts to treat infections and is a cause for critical concern. Renewed interest in bacteriophage therapy has advanced understanding of the breadth of species capable of targeting bacterial antimicrobial ...

Phage Therapy: Towards a Successful Clinical Trial
While phage therapy carried out as compassionate use (experimental therapy) has recently flourished, providing numerous case reports of supposedly healed patients, clinical trials aiming to formally prove their value in accord with current regulatory ...

Taking Bacteriophage Therapy Seriously: A Moral Argument [PDF]
The excessive and improper use of antibiotics has led to an increasing incidence of bacterial resistance. In Europe the yearly number of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria is more than 400.000, each year resulting in 25.000 attributable ...

Adsorption of MS2 bacteriophage on ultrafiltration membrane laboratory equipments [PDF]
Virus adsorption has been quantified (i) on different materials including various containers made of glass, plastic or stainless steel and hollow fiber membranes made of polyethersulfone, polysulfone, PVDF or cellulose acetate (with two configurations ...

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