Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016 Introduction: The use of bacteriophages as an alternative treatment method against multidrug-resistant bacteria has not been explored in Kenya. This study sought to determine the efficacy of environmentally obtained lytic bacteriophage against multidrug ...

Quorum Sensing and Metabolic State of the Host Control Lysogeny-Lysis Switch of Bacteriophage T1
mBio, 2019 Bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, are highly abundant in the biosphere and have a major impact on microbial populations. Many examples of phage interactions with their hosts, including establishment of dormant lysogenic and active lytic states, have ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

A bacteriophage tubulin harnesses dynamic instability to center DNA in infected cells. [PDF]
, 2014 Dynamic instability, polarity, and spatiotemporal organization are hallmarks of the microtubule cytoskeleton that allow formation of complex structures such as the eukaryotic spindle. No similar structure has been identified in prokaryotes.
