Viruses, 2011 Bacteriophages have been a model system to study assembly processes for over half a century. Formation of infectious phage particles involves specific protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, as well as large conformational changes of assembly precursors.

Microorganisms, 2020 Despite their simplicity, viruses can display social-like interactions such as cooperation, communication, and cheating. Focusing on bacteriophages, here we review features including viral product sharing, cooperative evasion of antiviral defenses, prudent host exploitation, superinfection exclusion, and inter-phage peptide-mediated signaling. We argue

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2001 ▪ Abstract In 1917, bacteriophages were recognized as epizootic infections of bacteria and were almost immediately deployed for antibacterial therapy and prophylaxis. The early trials of bacteriophage therapy for infectious diseases were confounded, however, because the biological nature of bacteriophage was poorly understood.

Investigating bacteriophages targeting the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2020 The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as front line antibiotic treatments.

Bacteriophage translocation [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2006 The occurrence of phages in the human body, especially in the gastrointestinal tract, raises the question of their potential role in the physiology and pathology of this system. Especially important is the issue of whether phages can pass the intestinal wall and migrate to lymph, peripheral blood, and internal organs and, if so, the effects such a ...

Characterization of a Bacteriophage GEC_vB_Bfr_UZM3 Active against Bacteroides fragilis
Viruses, 2023 Bacteroides fragilis is a commensal gut bacterium that is associated with a number of blood and tissue infections. It has not yet been recognized as one of the drug-resistant human pathogens, but cases of the refractory infections, caused by strains that

Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]
, 2012 Viruses are extremely small infectious particles that are not visible in a light microscope, and are able to pass through fine porcelain filters. They exist in a huge variety of forms and infect practically all living systems: animals, plants ...
