The therapeutic potential of bacteriophages targeting gram-negative bacteria using Galleria mellonella infection model

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Phage therapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages to treat highly drug resistant bacterial infections. The current surge in bacteriophage therapy is motivated mainly because of the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in clinics ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Scalable Separation and Purification of M13‐Bacteriophage‐Derived Particles Containing Artificial Single‐Stranded DNA Produced by Escherichia coli

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single‐stranded DNA (ssDNA) solutions are promising innovations shaping the future of genetic research and medical therapies. In principle, biotechnological mass production of ssDNA can be achieved using Escherichia coli in a high‐cell density fed‐batch process by secreting phagemid particles derived from the filamentous M13 bacteriophages ...
