Intragenus generalized transduction in Staphylococcus spp. by a novel giant phage [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2014
Abstract Bacteriophage (phage)-mediated generalized transduction is expected to contribute to the emergence of drug-resistant staphylococcal clones in various environments. In this study, novel phage S6 was isolated from sewage and used to test generalized transduction in human- and animal-derived staphylococci. Phage S6 was a novel type

Genome-wide characterization of vibrio phage ϕpp2 with unique arrangements of the mob-like genes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Vibrio parahaemolyticus is associated with gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septicemia in human and animals. Phages can control the population of the pathogen.

Isolation and characterisation of pVa-21, a giant bacteriophage with anti-biofilm potential against Vibrio alginolyticus

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
There is an increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, a zoonotic pathogen that causes mass mortality in aquatic animals and infects humans; therefore, there is a demand for alternatives to antibiotics for the treatment and ...

Klebsiella Phage vB_KleM-RaK2 — A Giant Singleton Virus of the Family Myoviridae

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
At 346 kbp in size, the genome of a jumbo bacteriophage vB_KleM-RaK2 (RaK2) is the largest Klebsiella infecting myovirus genome sequenced to date. In total, 272 out of 534 RaK2 ORFs lack detectable database homologues. Based on the similarity to biologically defined proteins and/or MS/MS analysis, 117 of RaK2 ORFs were given a functional annotation ...

Comparative functional genomic analysis of two Vibrio phages reveals complex metabolic interactions with the host cell

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Sequencing and annotation was performed for two giant double stranded DNA bacteriophages, φGrn1 and φSt2 of the Myoviridae family, considered to be of great interest for phage therapy against Vibrios in aquaculture live feeds.

The Human Respiratory Virome in Health and Disease: Interactions, Dysbiosis, and Methodological Challenges. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Genet (Hoboken)
This article examines how the respiratory virome contributes to health and disease, highlighting its interactions with the host and bacteriome. Key disease associations and present knowledge gaps are outlined. The review discusses challenges in sample collection and preprocessing, and presents future research directions for understanding virome ...
