Interplay between the mechanics of bacteriophage fibers and the strength of virus-host links [PDF]

Physical Review E 89, 052710 (2014), 2021
Viral fibers play a central role in many virus infection mechanisms since they recognize the corresponding host and establish a mechanical link to its surface. Specifically, bacteriophages have to anchor to bacteria through the fibers surrounding the tail before starting the viral DNA translocation into the host.

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.

Microbial Diversity and Phage–Host Interactions in the Georgian Coastal Area of the Black Sea Revealed by Whole Genome Metagenomic Sequencing

Marine Drugs, 2020
Viruses have the greatest abundance and highest genetic diversity in marine ecosystems. The interactions between viruses and their hosts is one of the hot spots of marine ecology.

Molecular Diversity and Predictability of Vibrio parahaemolyticus along the Georgian coastal zone of the Black Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of seafood-related gastroenteritis and is also an autochthonous member of marine and estuarine environments worldwide. One hundred seventy strains of V.

Combination of pre-adapted bacteriophage therapy and antibiotics for treatment of fracture-related infection due to pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Nature Communications, 2022
In this case study of a patient with fracture-related pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection after long-term antibiotic therapy, the authors use a combination therapy of pre-adapted bacteriophage and antibiotics resulting in clinical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Architecture of viral genome-delivery molecular machines. [PDF]

, 2014
From the abyss of the ocean to the human gut, bacterial viruses (or bacteriophages) have colonized all ecosystems of the planet earth and evolved in sync with their bacterial hosts. Over 95% of bacteriophages have a tail that varies greatly in length and
