Comparison between the Biofilm Desorption Abilities of T4 and MS2 Coliphages
Applied Sciences, 2022 Biofilms are a collection of microorganisms that adhere to a surface where they continue to grow. Firmly established biofilms can be hazardous to human health.

Prophage Induction of Noninducible Coliphage 186 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1974 Coliphage 186 has been regarded as a member of the noninducible group of coliphages. Evidence that prophage 186 is induced by ultraviolet irradiation or by treatment with nalidixic acid or mitomycin C is now presented. The phage yields were similar to those from lysogens of the inducible phage lambda, and the induction required a

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The contamination of water used in post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruit, vegetables and herbs (ffFVHs) is a global concern. The most relevant microbial hazards associated with this water are: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., human pathogenic Escherichia coli and enteric viruses, which have been ...

Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 24, August 25, 2023., 2023 In this report, a new PICI‐based platform is showcased to detect and identify bacteria. In contrast to other diagnostic approaches, this strategy can additionally distinguish whether the pathogens are alive. PICI‐based infection of target hosts is simple and efficient, allowing us to demonstrate the implementation of the technique in an easy‐to‐use ...

Morphological Variants of Coliphage P1 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1970 Lysates of P1 from all hosts tested contained at least three morphological variants with respect to head size. These were termed “big” (P1B), “small” (P1S), and “minute” (P1M). Since successive clonings of plaques isolated on many different hosts failed to change the proportions of the variants, we concluded that the production of variants

Effects of abiotic factors on the stability and infectivity of polyvalent coliphage
Water Science and Technology, 2022 Bacteriophage has attracted growing interest as a promising therapeutic agent for pathogenic bacteria, especially for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, the various abiotic conditions could impact the stability of phages and further threat host ...
