Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications of Lytic Phages

Analytical Letters, 2003
The ability of lytic phages to rapidly kill and lyse infected bacteria, the specificity of phages for particular bacteria, and the ability of phages to increase in number during the infection process make phages excellent potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents for fighting bacterial disease.

Implications of lytic phage infections inducing persistence

Current Opinion in Microbiology
Phage therapy holds much promise as an alternative to antibiotics for fighting infection. However, this approach is no panacea as recent results show that a small fraction of cells survives lytic phage infection due to both dormancy (i.e. formation of persister cells) and resistance (genetic change).

Description of a new phage lytic for several Brucella species

Journal of Biological Standardization, 1976
A new brucella-phage was isolated from a batch of Tbilisi (Tb) phage prepared 5 years previously. Unlike Tb phage this phage strain, designated MC/75, replicated with high efficiency in Brucella abortus and Br. suis and to a less extent in Br. neotomae cultures. It did not replicate in cultures of Br.

Structure and regulation of the lytic replicon of phage P1

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1989
Three replicons, R, L and P1dR, have been previously identified in bacteriophage P1, but only the R (or plasmid) replicon has been functionally and structurally characterized. Evidence is provided here that the L-replicon is the principal replicon used for DNA replication during the lytic cycle. The L-replicon (exclusive of its promoter) is shown to be

Bactria and Lytic Phage Coexistence in a Chemostat with Periodic Nutrient Supply

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2013
The dynamics of bacteria and bacteriophage coexistence was examined in a chemostat in which the externally driven supply of nutrient for bacteria, and washout rate oscillates periodically. The proposed mathematical model for three interacting variables, bacteria, phage, and nutrient, consists of 3 differential equations with time delay, due to the ...

New lytic and new temperate Staphylococcus hyicus phages

Virus Genes
A novel lytic phage with a broad host range was isolated from pig faeces and the complete genome was subsequently sequenced. The phage was found to lyse Staphylococcus hyicus, S. pseudintermedius, S. schleiferi and S. warneri, generating approximately 27 PFU per infected S. hyicus cell.

Optimization of lytic phage manufacturing in bioreactor using monolithic supports

Journal of Separation Science, 2011
AbstractA process for manufacturing large quantities of lytic bacteriophages was developed. Determination of cultivation termination was found to be essential to achieve high phage quantity and purity. When optimal cultivation termination is missed, phage fraction was found to be highly contaminated with deoxyribonucleic acid released from Escherichia ...

Physical mapping of the genomes of lytic and temperate forms of phage theta

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1981
Restriction maps of genomes of the lytic form and diverse temperate mutants of phage theta of Bacillus licheniformis were constructed. Most temperate mutants produced fragmentation patterns identical to that of the parent lytic form, theta c: in other mutants the only detectable change in the map was the deletion of a Bg/II restriction endonuclease ...

[Lytic phages and prophages of Streptococcus suis--a review].

Wei sheng wu xue bao = Acta microbiologica Sinica, 2015
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is an important zoonosis and pathogen that can carry prophages. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in our understanding of lytic phage and lysogenic phage of S. suis, including the morphology of S. suis lytic phage, the functions of lysin and terminase large subunit encoded by S.
