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.

Coinfection in a stochastic model for bacteriophage systems [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
A system modeling bacteriophage treatments with coinfections in a noisy context is analyzed. We prove that in a small noise regime, the system converges in the long term to a bacteria free equilibrium. Moreover, we compare the treatment with coinfection with the treatment without coinfection, showing how the coinfection affects the dose of ...

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Electrical Monitoring of Vibrio vulnificus–Host Cell Membrane Interactions in Simple and Complex Matrices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Supported lipid bilayers coupled with multielectrode array devices offer significant promise for pathogen–host cell membrane interaction studies. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the compatibility of this platform with biological fluids, in this case whole human blood, essential for any future point‐of‐care applications; as well as its ...

A stochastic model for bacteriophage therapies [PDF]

open access: yesMath. Biosci. (2013) 99-108, 2011
In this article, we analyze a system modeling bacteriophage treatments for infections in a noisy context. In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a sane equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability.

Bacteriophage-resistant and bacteriophage-sensitive bacteria in a chemostat [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2012
In this paper a mathematical model of the population dynamics of a bacteriophage-sensitive and a bacteriophage-resistant bacteria in a chemostat where the resistant bacteria is an inferior competitor for nutrient is studied. The focus of the study is on persistence and extinction of bacterial strains and bacteriophage.

Direct Electron Microscopy Study on the Morphological Diversity of Bacteriophage Populations in Lake Plußsee [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Direct electron microscopy of bacteriophages adsorbed to a carbon film without prior enrichment by specific host strains or concentration by physical or chemical methods was used to study the morphological diversity of natural bacteriophage assemblages ...

Complete Genome Sequences of vB_LmoS_188 and vB_LmoS_293, Two Bacteriophages with Specificity for Listeria monocytogenes Strains of Serotypes 4b and 4e [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
peer-reviewedListeria monocytogenes is responsible for the rare disease listeriosis, which is associated with the consumption of contaminated food products. We report here the complete genome sequences of vB_LmoS_188 and vB_LmoS_293, phages isolated from

Facile Fabrication of Large‐Area Biofunctionalized Metallic Nanostructures for High Performance Affinity Plasmonic Biosensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A novel approach enables facile and reproducible fabrication of gold nanoparticle arrays with tunable near‐infrared plasmonic properties and enhanced sensing accuracy. Using advanced lithography and ion milling, combined with innovative surface chemistry, the approach minimizes ohmic losses and non‐specific sorption, improving biomolecular detection ...

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.
