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 ...

Identification of Novel Phage Resistance Mechanisms in Campylobacter jejuni by Comparative Genomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Phages infecting Campylobacter jejuni are considered a promising intervention strategy at broiler farms, yet phage sensitivity of naturally occurring poultry isolates is not well studied.

Energies and pressures in viruses: contribution of nonspecific electrostatic interactions [PDF]

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 14, 3746-3765 (2012), 2011
We summarize some aspects of electrostatic interactions in the context of viruses. A simplified but, within well defined limitations, reliable approach is used to derive expressions for electrostatic energies and the corresponding osmotic pressures in single-stranded RNA viruses and double-stranded DNA bacteriophages.

Survival of Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in the human nose after artificial inoculation. [PDF]

, 2012
There is evidence that MRSA ST398 of animal origin is only capable of temporarily occupying the human nose, and it is therefore, often considered a poor human colonizer.We inoculated 16 healthy human volunteers with a mixture of the human MSSA strain ...

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.

Genomic insights into the rapid emergence and evolution of MDR in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVES: MDR methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) strains have emerged rapidly as major canine pathogens and present serious treatment issues and concerns to public health due to their, albeit low, zoonotic potential. A further

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

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.

Transposon Insertion Sequencing Elucidates Novel Gene Involvement in Susceptibility and Resistance to Phages T4 and T7 in Escherichia coli O157

mBio, 2018
Experiments using bacteriophage (phage) to infect bacterial strains have helped define some basic genetic concepts in microbiology, but our understanding of the complexity of bacterium-phage interactions is still limited.
