Oral Phage Therapy of Acute Bacterial Diarrhea With Two Coliphage Preparations: A Randomized Trial in Children From Bangladesh

EBioMedicine, 2016
Background: Antibiotic resistance is rising in important bacterial pathogens. Phage therapy (PT), the use of bacterial viruses infecting the pathogen in a species-specific way, is a potential alternative.

Cold Surface Waters of the Sub‐Antarctic Pacific Ocean Support High Cyanophage Abundances and Infection Levels

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.
Here, we investigated the abundance of cyanophages and the extent to which they infect Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, important primary producers, in the cold, low‐light, iron‐limited, sub‐Antarctic waters of the Pacific Ocean. We found that cyanophages are significant mortality agents, leading to substantial losses of these picocyanobacteria ...

Localization of Coliphage MS2 A-Protein [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1974
The purification of coliphage MS2 dinitrophenol (DNP) conjugates provided a system for localization of the single molecule of A-protein in the capsid of the MS2 phage particle. Three A-protein preparations isolated from unconjugated MS2, overconjugated DNP-MS2, and purified 78 S DNP-MS2 were tested for the presence ...

Impact of flocculated and softened particles on UV254 inactivation of indigenous spores

AWWA Water Science, Volume 6, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract US regulatory ultraviolet (UV) disinfection credit is typically granted when turbidity is ≤1 NTU. However, studies show turbidity does not always correlate well with UV dose responses. This study examined the impact of worst‐case high turbidity scenarios at drinking water treatment plants on UV254 inactivation of indigenous spores from ...

Distribution of Coliphages in Various Foods

Journal of Food Protection, 1986
The distribution of coliphages in various foods and the relationship between the incidences of coliphages and bacterial indicators were investigated. A total of 120 food samples comprising twelve products and including fresh meats, shellfish, vegetables and processed meats, were analyzed for indigenous coliphages using Escherichia coli hosts C, C-3000 ...
