Biocontrol Validation of a Strictly Lytic Phage A511 and a Commercial Phage PGL Shows Reduction of Listeria monocytogenes in Raw Scottish Salmon Fillet Postharvest

Journal of Food Protection
Introduction: Listeria monocytogenes is a known food-borne risk associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, including fish. An estimated 90% of cases of invasive human listeriosis result from ingestion of foods containing >2.0 × 103 CFU/g, with growth ...

New Finnlakevirus Isolate FLiP‐2 Provides Insight Into the Ecology of ssDNA Phages in Flavobacterium Hosts

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite the small genome size, ssDNA virus FLiP is remarkably well adapted to the seasonal variations of boreal fresh waters demonstrating excellent condition and host specific flexibility in its host interactions. FLiP plaques detected far from the original infection site represent a previously undescribed phenomenon, likely caused by the phage non ...

Biofilm Formation and Spore‐Mediated Persistence of Clostridium perfringens in Meat and Poultry Processing Environments and Their Implications for Control Strategies

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) biofilms pose a persistent challenge in meat and poultry processing environments due to their structural resilience, spore‐mediated survival and toxin‐associated virulence. These biofilms readily develop on food‐contact surfaces under typical processing conditions including organic residue accumulation,

Transmission of Vibrio cholerae Is Antagonized by Lytic Phage and Entry into the Aquatic Environment [PDF]

, 2008
Cholera outbreaks are proposed to propagate in explosive cycles powered by hyperinfectious Vibrio cholerae and quenched by lytic vibriophage. However, studies to elucidate how these factors affect transmission are lacking because the field experiments ...

Isolation of a Novel Lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phage Henu5 and Fitness Costs of Phage‐Driven Resistance

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study isolated and identified a novel lytic phage that infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Henu5 exhibited good physicochemical stability. Additionally, the phage‐resistant mutants showed fitness trade‐offs in growth, virulence and antibiotic susceptibility, along with in vivo fitness, which might direct future phage selection in clinical settings ...

Characterization of two lytic bacteriophages infecting carbapenem-resistant clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Virus Research
Bacteriophages or bacteria infecting viruses are genetically diverse. Due to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, lytic bacteriophages are gaining enormous attention for treating superbug infections.

Characterisation and In Planta Activity of Bacteriophages That Infect the Key Bacterial Species Associated With Acute Oak Decline

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
Phages that infect the oak pathogens Brenneria goodwinii and Gibbsiella quercinecans were isolated. The phages were able to effectively reduce bacterial populations of their respective hosts in vitro. However, when applied in planta, the phages did not reduce host populations and instead phages and bacteria co‐existed over time.

Engineering Pseudomonas protegens as a Targeted Antifungal‐Effector Delivery Chassis via Heterologous Type III Secretion System Reconstitution

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
A heterologous T3SS turns Pseudomonas protegens Pf‐5 into a programmable molecular syringe that delivers Bg9562 into Fusarium hyphae, suppresses fungal pathogens, enhances rhizosphere colonization and protects tomato plants from wilt. This modular platform offers a transferable strategy for next‐generation fungal biocontrol.

Comprehensive and Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Cell Wall Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 6, Page 506-545, June 2026.
Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...
