Phage typing or CRISPR typing for epidemiological surveillance of Salmonella Typhimurium? [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective Salmonella Typhimurium is the most dominant Salmonella serovar around the world. It is associated with foodborne gastroenteritis outbreaks but has recently been associated with invasive illness and deaths. Characterization of S.

Long-read sequencing-based in silico phage typing of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are successful nosocomial pathogens able to cause hospital outbreaks. In the Netherlands, core-genome MLST (cgMLST) based on short-read sequencing is often used for molecular typing.

CRISPR typing and phage content of colonizing Group B Streptococci from healthy Egyptian women [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundStreptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) causes serious infections in neonates with a particularly high burden of disease in Africa. Maternal vaginal colonization is the primary source of neonatal transmission.

Reversible excision of the wzy locus in Salmonella Typhimurium may aid recovery following phage predation. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics
Bacteriophage (phage) are promising novel antimicrobials but a key challenge to their effective implementation is the rapid emergence of phage resistance. An improved understanding of phage-host interactions is therefore needed. The Anderson phage typing

Genomic analysis of Anderson typing phages of Salmonella Typhimrium: towards understanding the basis of bacteria-phage interaction

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Anderson phage typing scheme has been successfully used worldwide for epidemiological surveillance of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Although the scheme is being replaced by whole genome sequence subtyping methods, it can provide a valuable

Emerging Phage Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Is Accompanied by an Enhanced Heterogeneity and Reduced Virulence

Viruses, 2021
Bacterial surface structures of a proteinic nature and glycoconjugates contribute to biofilm formation and provide shields to host defense mechanisms (e.g., the complement system and phagocytosis).

Characterisation of Phage Susceptibility Variation in Salmonellaenterica Serovar Typhimurium DT104 and DT104b

Microorganisms, 2021
The surge in mortality and morbidity rates caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria prompted a renewal of interest in bacteriophages (phages) as clinical therapeutics and natural biocontrol agents.

Phage typing of Staphylococcus saprophyticus [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1991
SUMMARYThis study included 502 staphylococcus strains;Staphylococcus saprophyticus(297 strains)S. cohnii(47),S. xylosus(10),S. epidermidis(67) andS. aureus(81). Mitomycin C induction was performed on 100 isolates ofS. saprophyticusand all induced strains were reacted with each other. Twenty-six strains proved to be lysogenic. Phages were propagated and
