A prophage-encoded sRNA limits phage infection of adherent-invasive E. coli. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensProphages are prevalent features of bacterial genomes that can reduce susceptibility to infection by competing phages, yet the mechanisms involved are often elusive.

Treatment of E. coli Infections with T4-Related Bacteriophages Belonging to Class Caudoviricetes: Selecting Phage on the Basis of Their Generalized Transduction Capability [PDF]
VirusesThe problem of the multidrug resistance of pathogenic bacteria is a serious concern, one which only becomes more pressing with every year that passes, motivating scientists to look for new therapeutic agents.

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

Virus Log Reduction Values and Dominant Mechanisms in Full-Scale Secondary Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems. [PDF]
Water Environ ResFor secondary treatment, the dominant virus removal mechanism varies based on system type and method(s) used to quantify virus reduction. This study demonstrates that secondary treatment can achieve significant virus reduction, but regulatory crediting for direct potable reuse may still not be justified.

Coliphages as indicators of primary wastewater treatment efficiency by constructed wetlands
Journal of Water and Health, 2023 Constructed wetlands are an efficient and cost-effective system for the treatment of wastewater that can be reused for diverse purposes, including irrigation; however, few studies have determined the efficiency of microbial removal by constructed ...

Antibiotics, 2023 Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses infecting bacteria. They are widely present in the environment, food, and normal microflora. The human microbiome is a mutually interdependent network of bacteria, bacteriophages, and human cells.
