Mutation-induced infections of phage-plasmids
Nature Communications, 2023 Phage-plasmids are extra-chromosomal elements that act both as plasmids and as phages, whose eco-evolutionary dynamics remain poorly constrained. Here, we show that segregational drift and loss-of-function mutations play key roles in the infection ...

Role of temperate phage in determining lytic phage sensitivity and serotype of Vibrio cholerae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 The effect of lysogenization with five temperate phages from various sources on serotype and lytic phage sensitivity was investigated in six cultures of Vibrio cholerae of both classical and El Tor biotypes. No changes in serotype or in classical phage sensitivity in the classical biotype were observed.

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.

PHAGE COCKTAILS AGAINST HIGHLY MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANII
The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018 Background:Phage therapy is a potential alternative treatment for infections caused by many bacterial species such as Acinetobacter baumannii (A.

Characterization of Three Phages Lytic for Brucella Species
Journal of General Virology, 1973 Summary The brucella phages A422, M51 and S708 were examined and compared with the Tbilisi reference phage. A422 was found to be identical in host range, adsorption pattern, physical and chemical stability and serological specificity with Tbilisi phage.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Lytic bacteriophages are expected as effective tools to control infectious bacteria in human and pathogenic or spoilage bacteria in foods. Leaderless bacteriocins (LLBs) are simple bacteriocins produced by Gram-positive bacteria. LLBs do not possess an N-

Properties of a new phage lytic for Brucella Suis
Journal of General Virology, 1973 Summary The properties of a new brucella phage isolated from culture fluids of Brucella suis and designated the Weybridge phage, were examined. The phage was lytic for smooth Br. abortus, Br. suis and Br. neotomae cultures but there was no lysis of Br. melitensis, Br. canis or Br. ovis strains. The host range, adsorption pattern, chemical stability and

Peptidoglycan lytic activity of thePseudomonas aeruginosaphage ÏKZ gp144 lytic transglycosylase [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 The gp144 endolysin gene from the Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage phiKZ was cloned and studies of gp144 expression into Escherichia coli showed host cell lysis. The gp144 protein was purified directly from the culture supernatant and from the bacterial cell pellet and showed in vitro antibacterial lytic activity against P. aeruginosa bacteria and degraded
