Bacteriophage strain typing by rapid single molecule analysis
Rapid characterization of unknown biological samples is under the focus of many current studies. Here we report a method for screening of biological samples by optical mapping of their DNA.

Bacteriophage Typing of Salmonellae. II. New Bacteriophage Typing Scheme [PDF]
A phage-typing technique for salmonellae is described. One battery of phages was used to type three serotypes of Salmonella , namely, S. typhimurium, S.typhimurium var. copenhagen , and S. heidelberg . In all, 443 S. heidelberg

Phages of Listeria offer novel tools for diagnostics and biocontrol
Historically, bacteriophages infecting their hosts have perhaps been best known and even notorious for being a nuisance in dairy-fermentation processes.

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

Ion-dependent DNA Configuration in Bacteriophage Capsids [PDF]
Bacteriophages densely pack their long dsDNA genome inside a protein capsid. The conformation of the viral genome inside the capsid is consistent with a hexagonal liquid crystalline structure. Experiments have confirmed that the details of the hexagonal packing depend on the electrochemistry of the capsid and its environment. In this work, we propose a

Bacteriophage Typing of the "Caulobacter Group" [PDF]
The phage types of 77 caulobacters were determined using 26 phages specific for this group of stalked bacteria. A standardized procedure, utilizing routine test dilutions, was used to eliminate an inhibition phenomenon which accounted for 53% of the positive reactions when undiluted phage lysates were tested.

Influencing factors on the preservation of lytic bacteriophage VP3
Long-term and stable preservation of bacteriophages is of crucial importance. Although many efforts have been made in the past decades to explore the influence of external factors on bacteriophage preservation, there is still little understanding, and a ...

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

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