A proposed integrated approach for the preclinical evaluation of phage therapy in Pseudomonas infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bacteriophage therapy is currently resurging as a potential complement/alternative to antibiotic treatment. However, preclinical evaluation lacks streamlined approaches.

Bronisława Fejgin (1883–1943): Forgotten Important Contributor to International Microbiology and Phage Therapy

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Bronisława Brandla Fejgin was a Polish-born Jewish female physician. Among Fejgin’s numerous articles in the field of microbiology, her later work was almost entirely devoted to phage research.

Synergistic Interaction Between Phage Therapy and Antibiotics Clears Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in Endocarditis and Reduces Virulence. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Increasing antibiotic resistance warrants therapeutic alternatives. Here we investigated the efficacy of bacteriophage-therapy (phage) alone or combined with antibiotics against experimental endocarditis (EE) due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an archetype ...

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

In Vitro Techniques and Measurements of Phage Characteristics That Are Important for Phage Therapy Success

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Validated methods for phage selection, host range expansion, and lytic activity determination are indispensable for maximizing phage therapy outcomes. In this review, we describe some relevant methods, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, and

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.

The Potential of Phage Therapy in Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Sepsis remains a difficult clinical challenge, since our understanding of its immunopathology is incomplete and no efficacious treatment currently exists. Its earlier stage results from an uncontrolled inflammatory response to bacteria while in the later stage disturbed immune response with immunodeficiency syndrome develops.

Low Immunogenicity of Intravesical Phage Therapy for Urogenitary Tract Infections

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2021
Patients with chronic urinary and urogenital multidrug resistant bacterial infections received phage therapy (PT) using intravesical or intravesical and intravaginal phage administration.

The Safety and Efficacy of Phage Therapy: A Systematic Review of Clinical and Safety Trials

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Trials of phage therapy have not consistently reported efficacy. This contrasts with promising efficacy rates from a sizeable and compelling body of observational literature.

Limitations of Phage Therapy and Corresponding Optimization Strategies: A Review

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Bacterial infectious diseases cause serious harm to human health. At present, antibiotics are the main drugs used in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, but the abuse of antibiotics has led to the rapid increase in drug-resistant bacteria and
