in vitro effectiveness of commercial bacteriophage cocktails on diverse extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The objective of this study is to determine the in vitro susceptibility of Georgian bacteriophage cocktails on multi-drug resistant extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) isolated from patients' blood and urine cultures. 615 E.

Phages of Listeria offer novel tools for diagnostics and biocontrol

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Historically, bacteriophages infecting their hosts have perhaps been best known and even notorious for being a nuisance in dairy-fermentation processes.

Characterization and Functional Studies of a Novel Depolymerase Against K19-Type Klebsiella pneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), a pathogen that causes severe nosocomial infections and yields a high mortality rate, poses a serious threat to global public health due to its high antimicrobial resistance.

Campylobacter jejuni Developed the Resistance to Bacteriophage CP39 by Phase Variable Expression of 06875 Encoding the CGPTase

Viruses, 2022
Bacteriophage (phage) is regarded as an antimicrobial alternative for Campylobacter in food production. However, the development of phage resistance to the host is a main concern for the phage application.

Evidence for a lineage of virulent bacteriophages that target Campylobacter

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Our understanding of the dynamics of genome stability versus gene flux within bacteriophage lineages is limited. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the use of bacteriophages as 'therapeutic' agents; a prerequisite for their use in ...

Development and Application of a Prophage Integrase Typing Scheme for Group B Streptococcus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a gram-positive pathogen mainly affecting humans, cattle, and fishes. Mobile genetic elements play an important role in the evolution of GBS, its adaptation to host species and niches, and its pathogenicity.

Advances in Molecular Serotyping and Subtyping of Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
E. coli plays an important role as a member of the gut microbiota; however, pathogenic strains also exist, including various diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli that cause illness outside of the GI-tract. E. coli have

Investigating the use of bacteriophages as a new decolonization strategy for intestinal carriage of CTX-M-15-producing ST131 Escherichia coli: An in vitro continuous culture system model

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2020
Objectives: We investigated the use of bacteriophages as a strategy to decolonize intestinal carriers of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli. Methods: A fermentor was used as a continuous culture system for 48 h. Two different pools of faeces (studies I
