Characterisation of a Novel Jumbo Lytic Aeromonas dhakensis Bacteriophage P19 and Its Endolysin
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.A jumbo, lytic myovirus phage P19 against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Aeromonas dhakensis was isolated from river water. P19 demonstrated robust lytic activity, high thermal and pH stability (pH 6–10, up to 60°C), and no genes associated with lysogeny, virulence or antimicrobial resistance. ORF_358 of P19 encodes for T4‐type lysozyme.

Advanced Gut &Microbiome Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The global escalation of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria necessitates alternative antimicrobial strategies beyond conventional antibiotics. Bacteriophage therapy has re‐emerged as a promising intervention, offering targeted bacterial killing with minimal disruption to host microbiota. This review evaluates the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages

Viruses that heal: harnessing bacteriophages in the era of antibiotic resistance
Вопросы вирусологииThe global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an urgent threat to public health, and novel alternatives to traditional antibiotics are needed. One of the most promising options is bacteriophages, viruses that infect and destroy bacteria.

Bacteria- and Phage-Derived Proteins in Phage Infection
Frontiers in Bioscience-LandmarkPhages have exerted severe evolutionary pressure on prokaryotes over billions of years, resulting in major rearrangements. Without every enzyme involved in the phage–bacterium interaction being examined; bacteriophages cannot be used in practical ...

The TcdE holin drives toxin secretion and virulence in Clostridioides difficile
, 2023 Abstract Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare associated infections. The Pathogenicity Locus (PaLoc) toxins TcdA and TcdB promote host disease. These toxins lack canonical N-terminal signal sequences for translocation across the bacterial membrane, suggesting alternate ...

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Cronobacter sakazakii is an emerging foodborne pathogen that has gained increasing global attention due to its association with severe infections in neonates, particularly meningitis, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. These infections are often associated with contaminated powdered infant formula (PIF), a nonsterile but commonly used alternative ...

Bacteriophage lysis: mechanism and regulation
Microbiological reviews, 1992 Bacteriophage lysis involves at least two fundamentally different strategies. Most phages elaborate at least two proteins, one of which is a murein hydrolase, or lysin, and the other is a membrane protein, which is given the designation holin in this ...
