Alginate–Chitosan Gel Microbeads for PhiKZ Encapsulation as a Model of Bacteriophage Delivery to Combat Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Gels
Wound infections due to antibiotic resistance pose a global public health problem. Phage therapy is a promising approach to address this issue. To improve localization, phage stability, delivery, and antibacterial performance, we propose polymer mix gel ...

The Role of Phage tRNAs in the Evolution of Codon Usage Biases in Giant Pseudomonas Phage phiKZ and EL

, 2017
As the most abundant and diverse biological agents in the biosphere phage have significant roles in microbial ecology, acting both as lethal bacterial parasites and vehicles of horizontal gene transfer. Phage/host coevolution drives optimization of phage

Isolation and characterisation of pVa-21, a giant bacteriophage with anti-biofilm potential against Vibrio alginolyticus

, 2019
There is an increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, a zoonotic pathogen that causes mass mortality in aquatic animals and infects humans; therefore, there is a demand for alternatives to antibiotics for the treatment and ...

High coverage metabolomics analysis reveals phage-specific alterations to Pseudomonas aeruginosa physiology during infection

, 2016
<p>Phage-mediated metabolic changes in bacteria are hypothesized to markedly alter global nutrient and biogeochemical cycles. Despite their theoretic importance, experimental data on the net metabolic impact of phage infection on the bacterial ...
