Biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanocrystals are an active carrier for Salmonella bacteriophages [PDF]
open access articlePurpose: The use of bacteriophages represents a valid alternative to conventional antimicrobial treatments, overcoming the widespread bacterial antibiotic resistance phenomenon.

A common cause of human food poisoning is through ingestion of pork products contaminated with Salmonella spp. Worryingly multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella strains have been isolated from pigs, which motivates the need for alternative antimicrobials.

Bacteriophage classification for assembled contigs using Graph Convolutional Network [PDF]
Motivation: Bacteriophages (aka phages), which mainly infect bacteria, play key roles in the biology of microbes. As the most abundant biological entities on the planet, the number of discovered phages is only the tip of the iceberg. Recently, many new phages have been revealed using high throughput sequencing, particularly metagenomic sequencing ...

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Genome Sequence of Salmonella Phage χ
ABSTRACT Salmonella bacteriophage χ is a member of the Siphoviridae family that gains entry into its host cells by adsorbing to their flagella. We report the complete 59,578-bp sequence of the genome of phage χ, which together with its relatives, exemplifies a largely unexplored type of tailed ...

Metagenomic analysis of therapeutic PYO phage cocktails from 1997 to 2014 [PDF]
Phage therapy has regained interest in recent years due to the alarming spread of antibiotic resistance. Whilst phage cocktails are commonly sold in pharmacies in countries such as Georgia and Russia, this is not the case in western countries due to ...

The Type A Phages of Salmonella typhimurium: Observations on Temperate Phage and Lysogenesis [PDF]
SUMMARY: When a standard suspension of Salmonella typhimurium Q1, an indicator strain sensitive to the type A phages recovered from lysogenic strains of this organism. was exposed to concentrations of these phages giving a phage:bacteria ratio of approximately 1:10 (thus ensuring that, with rare exceptions, bacteria became infected with single phage ...

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.
