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 ...

Campylobacter bacteriophages and bacteriophage therapy. [PDF]

Journal of applied microbiology, 2011
Members of the genus Campylobacter are frequently responsible for human enteric disease with occasionally very serious outcomes. Much of this disease burden is thought to arise from consumption of contaminated poultry products. More than 80% of poultry in the UK harbour Campylobacter as a part of their intestinal flora.

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

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

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background In the present study, we sequenced the complete genomes of three novel bacteriophages v_B-Bak1, v_B-Bak6, v_B-Bak10 previously isolated from historical anthrax burial sites in the South Caucasus country of Georgia.

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.

Bacteriophages in the gastrointestinal tract and their implications

Gut Pathogens, 2017
The gut microbiota plays an essential role in health and disease of humans. Bacteriophages are the most abundant members of the gut virobiota and display great diversity.

Application of bacteriophages [PDF]

Microbiology Australia, 2017
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and decrease in the discovery rate of novel antibiotics takes mankind back to the ‘pre-antibiotic era’ and search for alternative treatments. Bacteriophages have been one of promising alternative agents which can be utilised for medicinal and biological control purposes in agriculture and related fields ...

Recent Advances in the Application of Bacteriophages against Common Foodborne Pathogens

, 2022
Bacteriophage potential in combating bacterial pathogens has been recognized nearly since the moment of discovery of these viruses at the beginning of the 20th century. Interest in phage application, which initially focused on medical treatments, rapidly
