Inhibition of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli Using a Broad Host Range Phage Cocktail Targeting Various Bacterial Phylogenetic Groups

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) commensal Escherichia coli is a major reservoir that disseminates antimicrobial resistance to humans through the consumption of contaminated foods, such as retail poultry products. This study aimed to control AMR E.

Impact of a single phage and a phage cocktail application in broilers on reduction of Campylobacter jejuni and development of resistance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Campylobacteriosis is currently the most frequent foodborne zoonosis in many countries. One main source is poultry. The aim of this study was to enhance the knowledge about the potential of bacteriophages in reducing colonization of broilers with ...

A Method to Determine the Efficacy of a Commercial Phage Preparation against Uropathogens in Urine and Artificial Urine Determined by Isothermal Microcalorimetry

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Background: Urinary tract infections are commonly encountered and often treated with antibiotics. However, the inappropriate use of the latter has led to the appearance of resistant strains.

Phage cocktail strategies for the suppression of a pathogen in a cross-feeding coculture [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Cocktail combinations of bacteria-infecting viruses (bacteriophage), can suppress pathogenic bacterial growth. However, predicting how phage cocktails influence microbial communities with complex ecological interactions, specifically cross-feeding interactions in which bacteria exchange nutrients, remains ...

Characterization of 29 newly isolated bacteriophages as a potential therapeutic agent against IMP-6-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from clinical specimens

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are one of the most detrimental species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria globally. Phage therapy has emerged as an effective strategy for the treatment of CPE infections.

Phage Cocktails and the Future of Phage Therapy

open access: yesFuture 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.

Phage Therapy vs. the Use of Antibiotics in the Treatment of Salmonella-Infected Chickens: Comparison of Effects on Hematological Parameters and Selected Biochemical Markers

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Previous studies indicated that the use of a phage cocktail, composed of bacteriophages vB_SenM-2 and vB_Sen-TO17, is effective in killing cells of Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis in vitro and in the Galleria mellonella animal ...

Development of a broad-host-range phage cocktail for biocontrol [PDF]

open access: yesBioengineered Bugs, 2011
The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of different resistance mechanisms to phage K in a bank of Irish Staph aureus hospital strains; and to develop a broad host-range phage cocktail with enhanced lytic activity against those strains which were previously phage resistant.

Comparison of bacterial suppression by phage cocktails, dual-receptor generalists, and coevolutionarily trained phages

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Abstract The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria have renewed interest in phage therapy, the use of bacterial viruses (phages) to combat bacterial infections. The delivery of phages in cocktails where constituent phages target different modalities (e.g., receptors) may improve treatment outcomes by ...
