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.

Advantages and Limitations of Bacteriophages for the Treatment of Bacterial Infections
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Bacteriophages (BPs) are viruses that can infect and kill bacteria without any negative effect on human or animal cells. For this reason, it is supposed that they can be used, alone or in combination with antibiotics, to treat bacterial infections.

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.

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]
, 2014 Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...
