Evidence for a lineage of virulent bacteriophages that target
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 ...

Interference with propagation of typing bacteriophages by extrachromosomal elements in Salmonella typhimurium: bacteriophage type 505 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1976 Samonella typhimurium bacteriophage type 505 is the most frequently encountered phage type in the Netherlands and its neighboring countries. Phage type 505 was analyzed with regard o the interference with propagation of the typing phages by the prophages and plasmids, present in the type strain S.

Bacteriophage typing of coagulase-negative staphylococci [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979 Cultures comprising the 10 species of coagulase-negative staphylococci proposed by Kloos and Schleifer (J. Clin. Microbiol. 1:82--88, 1975) were typed with bacteriophages isolated from Staphylococcus epidermidis. Although only 10.5% were typable, 50% of those identified as S. epidermidis were typed.

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.

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

ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EDWARDSIELLA ICTAURI-SPECIFIC BACTERIOPHAGES [PDF]
Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2019 The present study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages (phages) specific for Edwardsiella ictaluri to be used as a biological control of the infection in fish as a final goal. Twenty-six phages (PEi1 ~ PEi26), lytic to E.

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

Comparative genomic analysis of 142 bacteriophages infecting Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Bacteriophages are bacterial parasites and are considered the most abundant and diverse biological entities on the planet. Previously we identified 154 prophages from 151 serovars of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica.
