Bacteria- and Phage-Derived Proteins in Phage Infection

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Phages have exerted severe evolutionary pressure on prokaryotes over billions of years, resulting in major rearrangements. Without every enzyme involved in the phage–bacterium interaction being examined; bacteriophages cannot be used in practical ...

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages That Infect Citrobacter rodentium, a Model Pathogen for Intestinal Diseases

Viruses, 2020
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a major pathogen for diarrheal diseases among children. Antibiotics, when used appropriately, are effective; however, their overuse and misuse have led to the rise of antibiotic resistance worldwide.

Genomic Characterization of Sixteen Yersinia enterocolitica-Infecting Podoviruses of Pig Origin

Viruses, 2018
Yersinia enterocolitica causes enteric infections in humans and animals. Human infections are often caused by contaminated pork meat. Y. enterocolitica colonizes pig tonsils and pigs secrete both the human pathogen and its specific bacteriophages into ...

Could bacteriophages be used as a novel pest management tool to control gut endosymbionts in Western Flower Thrips?

Frontiers in Agronomy
Several species of Thysanoptera are considered agricultural pests, especially Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips, WFT). The damage WFT causes to plants can either be direct by feeding and oviposition activity or indirect by WFT serving as ...
