BMC Microbiology, 2011 Background Shigella flexneri is the major pathogen causing bacillary dysentery. Fifteen serotypes have been recognized up to now. The genesis of new S. flexneri serotypes is commonly mediated by serotype-converting bacteriophages.

Efficient selection of tests for bacteriological typing schemes
, 1989 To simplify the selection of tests for bacteriological typing methods, such as bacteriophage, bacteriocin, and biotyping, a computerised method was assessed.

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
, 2014 Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The mammalian TGFβ interacts with ubiquitously expressed TGFBR1 and TGFBR2, and current TGFβ‐targeting agents are non‐cell‐selective. The cooperative interaction of the modular parasite TGFβ antagonist with multiple host (co‐)receptors empowers the design of TGM chimeras and bispecific antibodies that activate or inhibit TGFβ signaling in a cell ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a biomimetic delivery system (M‐hEV) by fusing monocyte membranes with extracellular vesicles for targeted therapy of damaged cardiac tissue. The system homes to injured myocardium through specific molecular pathways. In a myocardial infarction model, M‐hEV effectively accumulates in the heart, reduces infarct size, alleviates ...

Contribution and Interaction of Shiga Toxin Genes to Escherichia coli O157:H7 Virulence
Toxins, 2019 Escherichia coli O157:H7 is the predominant cause of diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. Its cardinal virulence traits are Shiga toxins, which are encoded by stx genes, the most common of which are stx1a, stx2a, and stx2c.

Developing a device-free PhagoGramAssay for bacteriophage typing
, 2021 Antibiotic resistance is an increasing, terrible threat to human health, leading to a growing need for alternative therapies. Phage therapy, using bacterial viruses to fight infections, is a promising alternative to antibiotic therapy.

AI‐Designed Cyclic Peptides Enable Controllable Modulation of the CD28 Immune Checkpoint
Advanced Science, EarlyView.AI‐designed cyclic peptides enable controllable modulation of the CD28 immune checkpoint through reversible disruption of CD28‐CD80/CD86 interactions. The lead peptide, CIP‐3, suppresses T‐cell activation without intrinsic agonist activity, demonstrates dose‐dependent efficacy in a murine colitis model, and attenuates inflammatory cytokine production ...

Observation on the bacteriophage typing of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from the socialist people's Libyan Arab Jamahiria [PDF]
Strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from Libyan patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis were studied to determine strain variation. Susceptibility to mycobacteriophages was chosen as the principal method.
