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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Interactions between Bacteriophages and Eukaryotic Cells

open access: yesScientifica, 2020
As the name implies, bacteriophage is a bacterium-specific virus. It infects and kills the bacterial host. Bacteriophages have gained attention as alternative antimicrobial entities in the science community in the western world since the alarming rise of

What Can We Learn from a Metagenomic Analysis of a Georgian Bacteriophage Cocktail?

open access: yesViruses, 2015
Phage therapy, a practice widespread in Eastern Europe, has untapped potential in the combat against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. However, technology transfer to Western medicine is proving challenging. Bioinformatics analysis could help to

Relevance of the bacteriophage adherence to mucus model for Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are getting increasingly serious as antimicrobial resistance spreads. Phage therapy may be a solution to the problem, especially if improved by current advances on phage-host studies.

More than Simple Parasites: the Sociobiology of Bacteriophages and Their Bacterial Hosts

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Bacteria harbor viruses called bacteriophages that, like all viruses, co-opt the host cellular machinery to replicate. Although this relationship is at first glance parasitic, there are social interactions among and between bacteriophages and their ...

Phage Endolysins as Promising and Effective Candidates for Use Against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesViruses
The presented in silico and phylogenetic analysis of putative endolysins potentially produced by phages infecting uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) demonstrates their remarkable diversity.

In Vivo Emergence of Podovirus Resistance via tarS Mutation During Phage-Antibiotic Treatment of Experimental MSSA Endocarditis

open access: yesViruses
Phage therapy shows promise as an adjunct to antibiotics for treating Staphylococcus aureus infections. We previously reported a combined flucloxacillin/two-phage cocktail treatment selected for resistance to podovirus phage 66 in a rodent model of ...
