Analyses of four new Caulobacter Phicbkviruses indicate independent lineages.
Bacteriophages with genomes larger than 200 kbp are considered giant phages, and the giant Phicbkviruses are the most frequently isolated Caulobacter crescentus phages.

Long-term changes of bacterial and viral compositions in the intestine of a recovered Clostridium difficile patient after fecal microbiota transplantation [PDF]
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infections (RCDIs). However, long-term effects on the patients' gut microbiota and the role of viruses remain to be elucidated.

One can hear and read it everywhere: we are in a period of antibiotic-crisis. Infections, often acquired in hospitals and termed nosocomial infections, are increasingly more difficult to treat due to a diverse repertoire of resistance mechanisms ...

Peptidoglycan lytic enzymes (endolysins) of bacteriophages have a major role in bacterial lysis at the end of the phage replication cycle. These endolysins turned out to be potential antibacterial compounds to combat a broad range of Gram-positive ...

Virus et prophages dans les écosystèmes aquatiques
International audienceIn this review, available data on the structure (diversity, abundance, biomass) and functional imprints (bacteriolysis, lysogeny, gene transfers, regulation of prokaryotic diversity) of natural viruses in the context of food webs in

Phages, as viruses that specifically target and eliminate bacteria, present as a promising treatment strategy against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Giant phages, however, with longer genomes and a higher level of virion complexity, remain understudied ...

Analyses of amber mutants of Salmonella phage SPN3US
The giant Salmonella enterica phage SPN3US belongs to the ϕKZ-related phages which are amongst the most complex virions of prokaryotic viruses, even more complex than most eukaryotic viruses.

Characterization and Proteolytic Maturation of Head Proteins in a Giant Salmonella Virus
Giant phages are of interest for biocontrol of pathogenic bacteria, however, there is limited knowledge about their biology. We study the Salmonella phage SPN3US to better understand virion structure and function.
