Antibody Production in Response to Staphylococcal MS-1 Phage Cocktail in Patients Undergoing Phage Therapy [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In this study, we investigated the humoral immune response (through the release of IgG, IgA, and IgM antiphage antibodies) to a staphylococcal phage cocktail in patients undergoing experimental phage therapy at the Phage Therapy Unit, Medical Center of the Ludwik Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy in Wrocław, Poland.

Application of a Phage Cocktail for Control of Salmonella in Foods and Reducing Biofilms [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Salmonella contamination in foods and their formation of biofilms in food processing facility are the primary bacterial cause of a significant number of foodborne outbreaks and infections. Broad lytic phages are promising alternatives to conventional technologies for pathogen biocontrol in food matrices and reducing biofilms.

Phage therapy pharmacology phage cocktails.

Advances in applied microbiology, 2016
Phage therapy is the clinical or veterinary application of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) as antibacterial "drugs." More generally, phages can be used as biocontrol agents against plant as well as foodborne pathogens. In this chapter, we consider the therapeutic use of phage cocktails, which is the combining of two or more phage types to produce ...

Efficiency of phage cocktails in the inactivation of Vibrio in aquaculture

Aquaculture, 2014
Abstract Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world, having a very important role in the economy. However, the losses associated with bacterial infections such as vibriosis, lead to huge economic costs. The regular use of antibiotics in aquaculture has resulted in the development of resistant strains, which have contributed to the

Phage cocktail administration to reduce Salmonella load in broilers

Research in Veterinary Science
Salmonella is a serious foodborne pathogen that can cause gastrointestinal disease through the consumption of contaminated foods; including poultry meat. Salmonella is commonly present in the intestinal tract of poultry and farm environments, posing a potential risk of contamination during the processing of poultry meat.

Efficacy of two Staphylococcus aureus phage cocktails in cheese production

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent pathogenic bacteria contaminating dairy products. In an effort to reduce food safety risks, virulent phages are investigated as antibacterial agents to control foodborne pathogens. The aim of this study was to compare sets of virulent phages, design phage cocktails, and use them in a cocktail to ...

Evaluation of phage cocktails to prevent avian colibacillosis

2022
Colibacillosis is the main bacterial disease in poultry and is treated mainly by antibiotics, which eventually led to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of two phage cocktails to prevent colibacillosis induced in chicks by the pathogenic strain BEN4358.

Single Phage and Cocktail Therapy

Phage therapy has emerged as a compelling alternative to conventional antibiotics, especially when tackling bacteria that resist multiple drugs. This approach can be split into two key strategies: single phage therapy, where a thoughtfully chosen phage strain takes the lead, and phage cocktail therapy, combining multiple phages to broaden antibacterial
