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 ...

Analysis of Serpulina hyodysenteriae strain variation and its molecular epidemiology using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PDF]

, 1999
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was applied as a molecular typing tool for the spirochaete Serpulina hyodysenteriae, the agent of swine dysentery.

A robust SNP barcode for typing Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains [PDF]

, 2014
Strain-specific genomic diversity in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is an important factor in pathogenesis that may affect virulence, transmissibility, host response and emergence of drug resistance.

Application of an Impedimetric Technique for the Detection of Lytic Infection of Salmonella spp. by Specific Phages

International Journal of Microbiology, 2009
This study was performed to evaluate the adaption of the impedimetric method to detect the lytic infection by Salmonella-specific bacteriophages and to ...

Bacteriophage typing ofstaphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1952
The routine methods for propagation of staphylococcal typing bacteriophages, and for their use in identifying strains of staphylococci, are described.Most of the phages can be propagated in fluid media as well as on agar, and for some glucose-peptone-water is a better medium than nutrient or Todd-Hewitt broth.Many phage filtrates derived from broth or ...

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.

Virus satellites drive viral evolution and ecology [PDF]

, 2015
Virus satellites are widespread subcellular entities, present both in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells. Their modus vivendi involves parasitism of the life cycle of their inducing helper viruses, which assures their transmission to a new host. However,

Applying phylogenomics to understand the emergence of Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains causing severe human disease in the United Kingdom [PDF]

, 2015
Shiga Toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is a recently emerged zoonotic pathogen with considerable morbidity. Since the serotype emerged in the 1980s, research has focussed on unravelling the evolutionary events from the E.

Bacteriophage typing scheme for Salmonella infantis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979
A bacteriophage typing system is described for Salmonella infantis. Nine phages were selected, of which three were isolated from sewage and six from human feces. All except 7 of the 546 strains collected between 1974 and 1978 could be classified into 23 different phage types.

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
