Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria: antibiotic-resistance and new treatment strategies [PDF]
, 2017 In this editorial, we treat the multi-drug-resistance of microorganisms such as Klebsiella pneumonia (Kp) and Acinetobacter baumanii and the issues concerning the management of these infections.

Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]
, 2017 DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.

Phage therapy: progress in pharmacokinetics [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018 ABSTRACT The concept of phage therapy exists in the history and it has been ignored for a long time, but the consequence of drug resistance in pathogen bacteria has forced the forgotten kingdom of phage therapy to be re-explored. However, for the successful implementation and acceptance of phage therapy worldwide, the number of factors need to be ...

Characterization of novel bacteriophages for biocontrol of bacterial blight in leek caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri [PDF]
, 2016 Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri, the causative agent of bacterial blight in leek (Allium porrum), is increasingly frequent causing problems in leek cultivation. Because of the current lack of control measures, novel bacteriophages were isolated to control

The Promising Viral Threat to Bacterial Resistance: The Uncertain Patentability of Phage Therapeutics and the Necessity of Alternative Incentives [PDF]
, 2014 Bacteriophages, or “phages,” are a category of highly adept and adaptable viruses that can infect and kill bacteria. With concerns over the burgeoning antibiotic-resistance crisis looming in recent years, scientists and policymakers have expressed a ...

Phage Therapy: Concept to Cure [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 The development and mass-production of antibiotics ranks as one of the twentieth cen-tury’s greatest scientific achievements. For more than 60 years, antibiotics have com-prised Western medicine’s primary defense against bacterial disease. But although antibiotics have saved millions of lives, our chemical shield has become increasingly leaky.

Phages and phage therapy: past, present and future
Microbiologia Medica, 2020 Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. Since their discovery in the last century, they have proved their effectiveness in biocontrol of bacteria. In this mini-review, we provide a brief history of bacteriophages, their life cycle and classification.

Phage therapies for plants and people [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 The use of bacteriophages to combat bacterial infections may help to address the current crisis of antibiotic resistance. Fundamental issues arising from the ecological dynamic of host, bacterium and phage can be investigated in trees, offering both a natural approach to treating plant disease, and a chance to avoid creating a new resistance problem ...

Experimental phage therapy of burn wound infection : difficult first steps [PDF]
, 2014 Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health problem and the antibiotics pipeline is running dry. Bacteriophages (phages) may offer an ‘innovative’ means of infection treatment, which can be combined or alternated with antibiotic therapy and ...
