Identification of Structural and Morphogenesis Genes of Sulfitobacter Phage ΦGT1 and Placement within the Evolutionary History of the Podoviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2023
ΦGT1 is a lytic podovirus of an alphaproteobacterial Sulfitobacter species, with few closely matching sequences among characterized phages, thus defying a useful description by simple sequence clustering methods.

Evolutionary comparison between viral lysis rate and latent period

open access: yes, 2013
Marine viruses shape the structure of the microbial community. They are, thus, a key determinant of the most important biogeochemical cycles in the planet.

Bacteriophage and their potential roles in the human oral cavity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The human oral cavity provides the perfect portal of entry for viruses and bacteria in the environment to access new hosts. Hence, the oral cavity is one of the most densely populated habitats of the human body containing some 6 billion bacteria and ...

Bacteriophage Cocktail for the Prevention of Multiple-Antibiotic-Resistant and Mono-Phage-Resistant Vibrio coralliilyticus Infection in Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Larvae

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Vibrio coralliilyticus (V. coralliilyticus) is a pathogen that causes mass mortality in marine bivalve hatcheries worldwide. In this study, we used a bacteriophage (phage) cocktail to prevent multiple-antibiotic-resistant (MAR) and phage-resistant (PR) V.

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Vibrio natriegens—Infecting Phage and Its Potential Therapeutic Application in Abalone Aquaculture

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Phage-based pathogen control (i.e., phage therapy) has received increasing scientific attention to reduce and prevent the emergence, transmission, and detrimental effects of antibiotic resistance.

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.
