From DNA sequence to application: possibilities and complications [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The development of sophisticated genetic tools during the past 15 years have facilitated a tremendous increase of fundamental and application-oriented knowledge of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their bacteriophages.

Engineering Murine Cross‐Reactivity Into an Affibody to Human Death Receptor 5

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interspecies cross‐reactive protein therapeutics that target conserved epitopes across species are critical for translational research. The present study showcases the engineering of an affibody molecule, originally discovered for binding to human death receptor 5 (hDR5) with 94 nM affinity, to simultaneously acquire cross‐reactivity to murine

Bacterial ‘Grounded’ Prophages: Hotspots for Genetic Renovation and Innovation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Bacterial genomes are highly plastic allowing the generation of variants through mutations and acquisition of genetic information. The fittest variants are then selected by the econiche thereby allowing the bacterial adaptation and colonization of the ...

The Promising Viral Threat to Bacterial Resistance: The Uncertain Patentability of Phage Therapeutics and the Necessity of Alternative Incentives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Bacteriophages, or “phages,” are a category of highly adept and adaptable viruses that can infect and kill bacteria. With concerns over the burgeoning antibiotic-resistance crisis looming in recent years, scientists and policymakers have expressed a ...

Bacteriophages and their structural organisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Viruses are extremely small infectious particles that are not visible in a light microscope, and are able to pass through fine porcelain filters. They exist in a huge variety of forms and infect practically all living systems: animals, plants ...

Engineered B7‐H3 Binding in Modular Gp2 Miniproteins

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT B7‐H3, an important immune checkpoint modulator of T‐cell function, is a tumor vasculature biomarker and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. Its expression is associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor clinical prognosis, which makes B7‐H3 an appealing target for diagnostics and therapeutics.

Isolation and Genomic Characterization of the T4-Like Bacteriophage PM2 Infecting Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal, 2015
In order to control Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, a novel virulent bacteriophage PM2 was isolated. Bacteriophage PM2 can infect 48% of P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and 78% of P. carotovorum subsp.

Introducing Lu-1, a Novel Lactobacillus jensenii Phage Abundant in the Urogenital Tract.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Bacteriophages (phages) play a key role in shaping microbial communities, including those of the human body. Phages are abundant members of the urogenital tract, most often persisting through the lysogenic life cycle as prophages integrated within the ...

Viruses under the Antarctic Ice Shelf are active and potentially involved in global nutrient cycles

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains limited.

Rapid identification of E. coli bacteriophages using mass spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: The current increasing interest in the application of mass spectrometry, in particular MALDI-TOF MS, to identification of bacteria and fungi calls for a need to utilise this technology for identification of other infectious agents such as ...
