The intron-containing genome of the lytic Pseudomonas phage LUZ24 resembles the temperate phage PaP3

Virology, 2008
The virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage LUZ24 (45,625 bp) was isolated from hospital sewage. It belongs to the family of the Podoviridae, and carries a bidirectionally transcribed dsDNA genome delineated by two direct terminal repeats of 184 bp.

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.

Resistance gene transfer: induction of transducing phage by sub-inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobials is not correlated to induction of lytic phage [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: Horizontal gene transfer of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes between clinical isolates via transduction is poorly understood. MRSA are opportunistic pathogens resistant to all classes of antimicrobial agents but currently no strains are ...

Phage Lytic Protein CHAPSH3b Encapsulated in Niosomes and Gelatine Films

Microorganisms
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a global health challenge, sparking worldwide interest in exploring the antimicrobial potential of natural compounds as an alternative to conventional antibiotics. In recent years, one area of focus has been the utilization of bacteriophages and their derivative proteins. Specifically, phage lytic proteins,

Persistence of bacteriophage T4 in a starved Escherichia coli culture: evidence for the presence of phage subpopulations. [PDF]

, 2011
Bacteriophage T4 is able to adjust its development to the growth parameters of the host cell. Here, we present evidence for the production of two different subpopulations of phage particles, which differ in their ability to infect starved Escherichia ...

Phage Therapy and Phage-Derived Lytic Proteins in the One Health Era: Mechanisms, Challenges and Emerging Innovations

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health threat, as conventional antibiotics are increasingly ineffective against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, particularly ESKAPE organisms. In response, bacteriophages and their derived lytic proteins,

Control of lysogeny and antiphage defense by a prophage-encoded kinase-phosphatase module

Nature Communications
The filamentous ‘Pf’ bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa play roles in biofilm formation and virulence, but mechanisms governing Pf prophage activation in biofilms are unclear.

“Sichuanvirus”, a novel bacteriophage viral genus, able to lyse carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

BMC Microbiology
Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a severe threat for human health and urgently needs new therapeutic approaches. Lytic bacteriophages (phages) are promising clinically viable therapeutic options against CRKP.
