Phage therapy for Escherichia coli urinary tract infections: selecting therapeutic phages and understanding resistance mechanisms in urine [PDF]

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect a large proportion of the human and canine population. Due to rising levels of antibiotic resistance, empirical treatment with conventional antibiotics may fail, which can increase the probabilities of recurrence ...

Using millimeter‐waves for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in food based on bacteriophage

Engineering Reports, 2019
The accessibility of a rapid method for detection and identification of food‐borne pathogens is crucial for food industry worldwide. Antibiotic resistance bacteria (eg, E. coli) that can enter the food chain in different ways, can indeed survive on foods

Efficacy of phage vB_Ps_ZCPS13 in controlling Pan-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa from urinary tract infections (UTIs) and eradicating biofilms from urinary catheters

Virology Journal
Background Pan-drug resistance (PDR) is a ticking time bomb, as it causes high human hospitalizations and mortality rates. For instance, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with significant rates of urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to several reasons
