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.

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

Repressor of Phage 16-3 with Altered Binding Specificity Indicates Spatial Differences in Repressor-Operator Complexes [PDF]
, 2006 The C repressor protein of phage 16-3, which is required for establishing and maintaining lysogeny, recognizes structurally different operators which differ by 2 bp in the length of the spacer between the conserved palindromic sequences.

Microorganisms, 2022 Treatment of infections caused by bacteria has become more complex due to the increasing number of bacterial strains that are resistant to conventional antimicrobial therapy. A highly promising alternative appears to be bacteriophage (phage) therapy, in which natural predators of bacteria, bacteriophages, play a role.

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.

New Insights into the Structure and Assembly of Bacteriophage P1
Viruses, 2022 Bacteriophage P1 is the premier transducing phage of E. coli. Despite its prominence in advancing E. coli genetics, modern molecular techniques have not been applied to thoroughly understand P1 structure.
