ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

In Vitro Design and Evaluation of Phage Cocktails Against Aeromonas salmonicida [PDF]
As an alternative approach against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, phages are now being increasingly investigated as effective therapeutic agents. Here, aiming to design an efficient phage cocktail against Aeromonas salmonicida infections, we isolated and characterized five lytic A.

Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a challenging nosocomial pathogen due to its rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance. We report characterization of two novel bacteriophages, PBAB08 and PBAB25, infecting clinically isolated, multidrug-resistant ...

During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

IMMUNOLOGIC ASPECTS OF PHAGE THERAPY OF INFECTIONS RELATED TO MEDICAL CARE IN NEUROREANIMATION
Aim. Evaluate the effect of anti-phage humoral immune response on effectiveness of phage therapy of infections related to medical care (IRMC). Materials and methods. 42 patients on extended mechanical ventilation (MV) in neuroreanimation, 1 time in 2014,

Mitochrial transplantation is a promising therapy to restore energy in damaged cells, but it lacks fast and reliable methods to assess mitochondrial quality before use. In this study, we used a label‐free imaging technique called interferometric light microscopy to rapidly measure the size and concentration of isolated mitochondria.

Directed in Vitro Evolution of Therapeutic Bacteriophages: The Appelmans Protocol
The ‘Appelmans protocol’ is used by Eastern European researchers to generate therapeutic phages with novel lytic host ranges. Phage cocktails are iteratively grown on a suite of mostly refractory bacterial isolates until the evolved cocktail ...

The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...

Phage therapy, an emerging strategy in the fight against recalcitrant bacterial infections, encounters a significant hurdle posed by the development of phage-resistant bacterial strains. To address this concern, we suggest a novel phage cocktail.
