A Rapid Screening Strategy for Secondary Bacteriophages to Counter Phage Resistance in Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a major nosocomial pathogen; bacteriophage therapy is a promising alternative, but its principal challenge is the rapid emergence of phage resistance.

A Rapid Method for Performing a Multivariate Optimization of Phage Production Using the RCCD Approach

Pathogens, 2021
Bacteriophages can be used in various applications, from the classical approach as substitutes for antibiotics (phage therapy) to new biotechnological uses, i.e., as a protein delivery vehicle, a diagnostic tool for specific strains of bacteria (phage ...

A Simple Exercise for Teaching Bacteriophage Concepts in the Undergraduate Laboratory Using Commercially Available Disinfectant

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2018
Virus and bacteriophage are key components in any microbiology teaching. We have used a commercially available disinfectant (TRIGENE) to demonstrate plaques formation from bacteriophages on confluent bacterial lawns.
