Quorum Sensing and Metabolic State of the Host Control Lysogeny-Lysis Switch of Bacteriophage T1
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 ...

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

Role of temperate phage in determining lytic phage sensitivity and serotype of Vibrio cholerae [PDF]
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.

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
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]
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

Characterization of Three Phages Lytic for Brucella Species
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.

Phage lytic proteins: biotechnological applications beyond clinical antimicrobials [PDF]
Most bacteriophages encode two types of cell wall lytic proteins: endolysins (lysins) and virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases. Both enzymes have the ability to degrade the peptidoglycan of Gram-positive bacteria resulting in cell lysis when they are applied externally. Bacteriophage lytic proteins have a demonstrated potential in treating animal
