Characterization of a lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage vB_PaeP_ASP23 and functional analysis of its lysin LysASP and holin HolASP

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
In this study, we isolated a lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage (vB_PaeP_ASP23) from the sewage of a mink farm, characterized its complete genome and analyzed the function of its putative lysin and holin.

Virulent Drexlervirial Bacteriophage MSK, Morphological and Genome Resemblance With Rtp Bacteriophage Inhibits the Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Phage-host interactions are likely to have the most critical aspect of phage biology. Phages are the most abundant and ubiquitous infectious acellular entities in the biosphere, where their presence remains elusive. Here, the novel Escherichia coli lytic

Genome Analysis and Therapeutic Evaluation of a Novel Lytic Bacteriophage of Salmonella Typhimurium: Suggestive of a New Genus in the Subfamily Vequintavirinae

Viruses, 2022
Salmonella Typhimurium, a foodborne pathogen, is a major concern for food safety. Its MDR serovars of animal origin pose a serious threat to the human population. Phage therapy can be an alternative for the treatment of such MDR Salmonella serovars.

Predicting genome terminus sequences of Bacillus cereus-group bacteriophage using next generation sequencing data

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Most tailed bacteriophages (phages) feature linear dsDNA genomes. Characterizing novel phages requires an understanding of complete genome sequences, including the definition of genome physical ends.

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

Genetically distant bacteriophages select for unique genomic changes in Enterococcus faecalis

MicrobiologyOpen, 2022
The human microbiota harbors diverse bacterial and bacteriophage (phage) communities. Bacteria evolve to overcome phage infection, thereby driving phage evolution to counter bacterial resistance. Understanding how phages select for genetic alterations in

Molecular Characterization and Comparative Genomic Analysis of vB_PaeP_YA3, a Novel Temperate Bacteriophage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
It is well known that bacteriophages play crucial roles in many aspects, such as controlling the number and the diversity of bacteria and participating in horizontal gene transfer, which is a key process in the evolution of bacteria. However, so far, the
