Use of a Bacteriophage Lysin to Control Axillary Malodor

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Axillary malodor is primarily caused by bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus hominis, which metabolize apocrine secretions into volatile compounds. Traditional deodorants contain antiseptics that can disrupt the skin microbiome and cause irritation. Alternative methods of odor control are being sought but so far without success. We

Rapid and quantitative measurement of bacteriophage infectivity via fully automated droplet digital PCR

Nature Communications
The clinical translation of phage therapy for multidrug-resistant infections is constrained by the lack of rapid, standardized therapeutic phage selection. Here, we introduce digital phage susceptibility testing (dPhaST), an automated droplet digital PCR

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

Comparative genomics defines the core genome of the growing N4-like phage genus and identifies N4-like Roseophage specific genes [PDF]

, 2014
Two bacteriophages, RPP1 and RLP1, infecting members of the marine Roseobacter clade were isolated from seawater. Their linear genomes are 74.7 and 74.6 kb and encode 91 and 92 coding DNA sequences, respectively.

A novel lytic phage potentially effective for phage therapy against Burkholderia pseudomallei in the tropics

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2022
Abstract Background Burkholderia pseudomallei is a tropical pathogen that causes melioidosis. Its intrinsic drug-resistance is a leading cause of treatment failure, and the few available antibiotics require prolonged use to be effective. This study aimed to assess the clinical potential of B. pseudomallei phages isolated

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Identification of Cohesive Ends and Genes Encoding the Terminase of Phage 16-3 [PDF]

, 2005
Cohesive ends of 16-3, a temperate phage of Rhizobium meliloti 41, have been identified as 10-base-long, 3′-protruding complementary G/C-rich sequences. terS and terL encode the two subunits of 16-3 terminase.

Lytic Activity of Various Phage Cocktails on Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

, 2016
Purpose: A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium following the injection of phage genome into the bacterial cytoplasm. They are seen as a possible therapy for multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria.
