Isolation and Genome Characterization of the Virulent Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriophage SA97
A novel bacteriophage that infects S. aureus, SA97, was isolated and characterized. The phage SA97 belongs to the Siphoviridae family, and the cell wall teichoic acid (WTA) was found to be a host receptor of the phage SA97.

Phages for Phage Therapy: Isolation, Characterization, and Host Range Breadth
For a bacteriophage to be useful for phage therapy it must be both isolated from the environment and shown to have certain characteristics beyond just killing strains of the target bacterial pathogen.

Noncanonical amino acids as prophage inducers for protein regulation in bacteria-based delivery systems [PDF]
Genetically engineered bacteria represent a promising drug delivery tool for disease treatment. The development of new strategies for specific and independent protein regulation is necessary, especially for combination protein drug therapy.

The Escherichia coli CRISPR System Protects from λ Lysogenization, Lysogens, and Prophage Induction [PDF]
ABSTRACT We show that phage lysogenization, lysogens, and prophage induction are all targeted by CRISPR. The results demonstrate that genomic DNA is not immune to the CRISPR system, that the CRISPR system does not require noncytoplasmic elements, and that the system protects from phages entering and exiting the lysogenic cycle.

Effect of bacteriophage lysin on lysogens [PDF]
To study the effect of phage lysin on the growth of lysogens.Sputum specimens processed by modified Petroff's method were respectively treated with phagebiotics in combination with lysin and lysin alone. The specimens were incubated at 37 °C for 4 days.
