Does Phage Therapy Need a Pan-Phage?
PathogensThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is undoubtedly one of the most serious global health threats. One response to this threat that has been gaining momentum over the past decade is ‘phage therapy’.

Pectobacterium brasiliense: Genomics, Host Range and Disease Management
Microorganisms, 2021 Pectobacterium brasiliense (Pbr) is considered as one of the most virulent species among the Pectobacteriaceae. This species has a broad host range within horticulture crops and is well distributed elsewhere.

Parallelisms and Contrasts in the Diverse Ecologies of the Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi Complexes of Bacteria in the Far Western United States. [PDF]
, 2016 Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi are two tick-borne bacteria that cause disease in people and animals. For each of these bacteria, there is a complex of closely related genospecies and/or strains that are genetically distinct and have ...

A comparison of Olpidium isolates from a range of host plants using internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis and host range studies [PDF]
Olpidium brassicae is a ubiquitous obligate root-infecting fungal pathogen. It is an important vector of a wide range of plant viruses. Olpidium isolates that infected brassica plants did not infect lettuce plants and vice-versa.

Parasite host range and the evolution of host resistance [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015 AbstractParasite host range plays a pivotal role in the evolution and ecology of hosts and the emergence of infectious disease. Although the factors that promote host range and the epidemiological consequences of variation in host range are relatively well characterized, the effect of parasite host range on host resistance evolution is less well ...

Lytic Activity Spectra of Bacteriophages
Антибиотики и ХимиотерапияOne of the central topics in bacteriophage research is the host specificity. It depends on the success of completing viral life cycle stages, including adsorption, penetration of the genetic material of the virus into the cell and its replication ...

Analysing Parallel Strategies to Alter the Host Specificity of Bacteriophage T7
Biology, 2021 The recognition and binding of host bacteria by bacteriophages is most often enabled by a highly specific receptor–ligand type of interaction, with the receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) of phages being the primary determinants of host specificity ...

Physical conditions and element abundances in SN and GRB host galaxies at different redshifts
, 2016 We compare the physical parameters and the relative abundances calculated throughout supernova (SN) and gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies by the detailed modelling of the spectra. The results show that : 1) shock velocities are lower in long period GRB

Staphylococcus aureus Host Range and Human-Bovine Host Shift [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a major agent of bovine mastitis. The concomitant emergence of pig-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in human carriage and infection requires a reexamination of the host range and specificity of human- and cow-associated S. aureus
