Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]
, 2019 Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

Engineering Bacterial Secretion Systems for Enhanced Tumor Imaging and Surgical Guidance
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a novel contrast agent platform, Streptavidin Associated Salmonella (SAS), for fluorescence image guided surgery. SAS selectively colonizes tumors and secretes streptavidin, enabling precise delineation of invasive tumor margins with prolonged signal retention.

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

Interactions between Bacteriophages and Eukaryotic Cells
Scientifica, 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

Isolation and Identification of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Lytic Bacteriophage from Environment Sewage
International Journal of Food Science, 2021 Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the pathogenic bacteria causing foodborne disease. The use of lytic bacteriophages can be a good solution to overcome the disease.

Effects of Noise on Ecological Invasion Processes: Bacteriophage-mediated Competition in Bacteria [PDF]
, 2006 Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature.

Etude de classification des bacteriophages [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Phages are one of the most present groups of organisms in the biosphere. Their identification continues and their taxonomies are divergent. However, due to their evolution mode and the complexity of their species ecosystem, their classification is not complete.

On the persistence of lytic bacteriophages in vivo and its consequences for bacteriophage therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Bacteriophages are viruses infecting bacteria and archaea. Many phage species cause infections which lead to the certain death of the infected prokaryotic host cell and the release of a large batch of phage progeny, yet they have been able to stably coexist with their bacterial hosts over the eons in nature, as well as in the majority of laboratory ...

Ion-dependent dynamics of DNA ejections for bacteriophage lambda [PDF]
, 2010 We study the control parameters that govern the dynamics of in vitro DNA ejection in bacteriophage lambda. Past work has demonstrated that bacteriophage DNA is highly pressurized; this pressure has been hypothesized to help drive DNA ejection.
