The bacteriophage decides own tracks: When they are with or against the bacteria
Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2021 Bacteriophages, bacteria-infecting viruses, are considered by many researchers a promising solution for antimicrobial resistance. On the other hand, some phages have shown contribution to bacterial resistance phenomenon by transducing antimicrobial ...

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]
, 2019 Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

Investigating bacteriophages targeting the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2020 The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as front line antibiotic treatments.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

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 ...

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.
