Bacteriophage Therapy [PDF]

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.

Occurrence and diversity of clinically important Vibrio species in the aquatic environments of Georgia

Frontiers in Public Health, 2015
Among the more than 70 different Vibrio species inhabiting marine, estuarine, and freshwater ecosystems, 12 are recognized as human pathogens. The warm subtropical climate of the Black Sea coastal area and inland regions of Georgia likely provides 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 genomes [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2011
Bacteriophages occupy a unique position in biology, representing an absolute majority of all organisms in the biosphere. Because their genomes are relatively small, elucidating the genetic diversity of the phage population, deciphering their origins, and identifying the evolutionary mechanisms that shape the population would seem readily feasible.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Correction to: Genomic characterization of three novel Basilisk-like phages infecting Bacillus anthracis

BMC Genomics, 2018
Following the publication of this article [1], the authors noted two typographical errors: one in Table 1 with regard to the location of the Basilisk Phage, which was incorrectly captured as “Kutaisis, country of Georgia Utah, USA” but should be “Utah ...
