The temperate Burkholderia phage AP3 of the Peduovirinae shows efficient antimicrobial activity against B. cenocepacia of the IIIA lineage [PDF]
, 2016 Burkholderia phage AP3 (vB_BceM_AP3) is a temperate virus of the Myoviridae and the Peduovirinae subfamily (P2likevirus genus). This phage specifically infects multidrug-resistant clinical Burkholderia cenocepacia lineage IIIA strains commonly isolated ...

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT In the U.S., bovine milk is processed using thermal pasteurization to ensure microbial safety. However, this process alters the structure of heat‐sensitive bioactive proteins associated with the functional benefits of raw milk, including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant proteins.

Activity Assays for Bacteriophage Endolysin PlyPy
BIO-PROTOCOL, 2014 Bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) escape and kill their host by degrading the bacterial peptidoglycan layer through the mechanism of enzymes called endolysins: peptidoglycan degrading enzymes. The method included here is useful for the initial characterization of any endolysin, regardless of the specific catalytic domain (as long as the activity ...

Putative prophages related to lytic tailless marine dsDNA phage PM2 are widespread in the genomes of aquatic bacteria [PDF]
, 2007 Background The origin and evolution of viruses is currently a heavily discussed issue. One element in this discussion is the innate viral "self" concept, which suggests that viral structures and functions can be divided into two categories.
