Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from the Oral Cavity: Phage Susceptibility in Relation to Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Nowadays, research on bacteriophage therapy and its potential use in combination with antibiotics has been gaining momentum. One hundred and ten oral Staphylococcus aureus isolates were phage-typed and their antibiotic resistance was determined by ...

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

open access: yesmBio, 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 ...

Phage ZCSS1 from isolation to application against Staphylococcus sciuri and biofilm: A prospect of utilizing temperate phage and its products

open access: yes, 2023
Following the spread of the multi-drug resistant bacteria and the huge demand on public health, various alternatives were pursued. Bacteriophages (virulent phages) are among the potential antibacterial agents that have shown promising applications in ...

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

open access: yesInfection 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.

Construction of Leaderless-Bacteriocin-Producing Bacteriophage Targeting E. coli and Neighboring Gram-Positive Pathogens

open access: yesMicrobiology 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

open access: yesJournal 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 φKZ gp144 lytic transglycosylase [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS 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

Characterization of Three Phages Lytic for Brucella Species

open access: yesJournal 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.

Phage lytic proteins: biotechnological applications beyond clinical antimicrobials [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2015
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
