Phage Cocktails and the Future of Phage Therapy
Future Microbiology, 2013 Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, were discovered nearly 100 years ago. Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade.

Bacteriophage, 2015 The resurgence of interest in bacteriophages for use in combating antibiotic resistant bacteria is coincident with an urgent call for more effective science education practices, including hands-on learning opportunities. To address this issue, a number of solutions have been proposed, including a large educational experiment, begun in 2007 by the ...

Genetic basis of phage-host interaction: Towards effective phage therapy of non-typhoidal Salmonella
, 2022 Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) have adapted to cause invasive illness in humans. Bacteria have developed MDR against current antibiotics. Bacteriophage therapy is the hope for bacterial treatment however one of the key limitations is the limited host ...

Bacteriophage, 2011 Bacteriophages or phages are the most abundant organisms in the biosphere and they are a ubiquitous feature of prokaryotic existence. A bacteriophage is a virus which infects a bacterium. Archaea are also infected by viruses, whether these should be referred to as 'phages' is debatable, but they are included as such in the scope this article.

Mucosal Environment Induces Phage Susceptibility in Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
, 2022 Pathogenic bacteria are attracted toward mucosa, as it is their way of entry into the body. However, we know surprisingly little about the phage-bacterium interactions in the mucosal environment. Here, we explored the effect of the mucosal environment on

Endolysin Regulation in Phage Mu Lysis
mBio, 2022 Bacteriophage Mu is a paradigm coliphage studied mainly because of its use of transposition for genome replication. However, in extensive nonsense mutant screens, only one lysis gene has been identified, the endolysin gp22.

Self-assembly of Escherichia coli phage shock protein A
, 2014 The Phage shock protein (Psp) response is an extracytoplasmic stress response. The central component of this system is PspA, a protein that mediates the physiological response to membrane stress.
