Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]
, 2017 The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.

Phage vB_BsuP-Goe1: the smallest identified lytic phage ofBacillus subtilis [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2016 Currently, interest in phage science is on the rise again as this subject remains largely unexplored, and its potential diversity mainly untapped. Here, we present phage vB_BsuP-Goe1, a new isolate that infects Bacillus subtilis The phage forms round plaques with a matt outline on agar plates containing a B. subtilis Δ6 lawn.

Well-temperate phage: optimal bet-hedging against local environmental collapses [PDF]
, 2015 Upon infection of their bacterial hosts temperate phages must chose between lysogenic and lytic developmental strategies. Here we apply the game-theoretic bet-hedging strategy introduced by Kelly to derive the optimal lysogenic fraction of the total ...

Calculating Biological Behaviors of Epigenetic States in Phage lambda Life Cycle [PDF]
, 2004 Gene regulatory network of lambda phage is one the best studied model systems in molecular biology. More 50 years of experimental study has provided a tremendous amount of data at all levels: physics, chemistry, DNA, protein, and function.

Anti-phage islands force their target phage to directly mediate island excision and spread. [PDF]
, 2018 Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is antagonized by the lytic phage ICP1 in the aquatic environment and in human hosts. Mobile genetic elements called PLEs (phage-inducible chromosomal island-like elements) protect V.
