Liposome Entrapment of Bacteriophages Improves Wound Healing in a Diabetic Mouse MRSA Infection
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Diabetic populations are more prone to developing wound infections which results in poor and delayed wound healing. Infection with drug resistant organisms further worsen the situation, driving searches for alternative treatment approaches such as phage ...

Synergy as a rationale for phage therapy using phage cocktails
PeerJ, 2014 Where phages are used to treat bacterial contaminations and infections, multiple phages are typically applied at once as a cocktail. When two or more phages in the cocktail attack the same bacterium, the combination may produce better killing than any single phage (synergy) or the combination may be worse than the best single phage (interference ...

Use of a Specific Phage Cocktail for Soft Rot Control on Ware Potatoes: A Case Study
Viruses, 2021 Using bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) to control pathogenic bacteria is a promising approach in horticulture. However, the application of this strategy in real conditions requires compliance with particular technological and environmental restraints ...

Multireceptor phage cocktail against Salmonella enterica to circumvent phage resistance. [PDF]
MicrolifeAbstract Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is one of the most common food-borne pathogens worldwide, with poultry products being the major vehicle for pathogenesis in humans. The use of bacteriophage (phage) cocktails has recently emerged as a novel approach to enhancing food safety.

Development of a Phage Cocktail to Target Salmonella Strains Associated with Swine [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2022 Infections caused by multidrug resistant Salmonella strains are problematic in swine and are entering human food chains. Bacteriophages (phages) could be used to complement or replace antibiotics to reduce infection within swine. Here, we extensively characterised six broad host range lytic Salmonella phages, with the aim of developing a phage cocktail

What Can We Learn from a Metagenomic Analysis of a Georgian Bacteriophage Cocktail?
Viruses, 2015 Phage therapy, a practice widespread in Eastern Europe, has untapped potential in the combat against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. However, technology transfer to Western medicine is proving challenging. Bioinformatics analysis could help to
