PhaBOX: A web server for identifying and characterizing phage contigs in metagenomic data [PDF]
published on Bioinformatics Advances 2023, 2023 Motivation: There is accumulating evidence showing the important roles of bacteriophages (phages) in regulating the structure and functions of the microbiome. However, lacking an easy-to-use and integrated phage analysis software hampers microbiome-related research from incorporating phages in the analysis.

PhaVIP: Phage VIrion Protein classification based on chaos game representation and Vision Transformer [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Motivation: As viruses that mainly infect bacteria, phages are key players across a wide range of ecosystems. Analyzing phage proteins is indispensable for understanding phages' functions and roles in microbiomes. High-throughput sequencing enables us to obtain phages in different microbiomes with low cost. However, compared to the fast accumulation of

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Understanding Biofilm-Phage Interactions in Cystic Fibrosis Patients Using Mathematical Frameworks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 When planktonic bacteria adhere together to a surface, they begin to form biofilms, or communities of bacteria. Biofilm formation in a host can be extremely problematic if left untreated, especially since antibiotics can be ineffective in treating the bacteria.

Engineering Bacterial Secretion Systems for Enhanced Tumor Imaging and Surgical Guidance
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a novel contrast agent platform, Streptavidin Associated Salmonella (SAS), for fluorescence image guided surgery. SAS selectively colonizes tumors and secretes streptavidin, enabling precise delineation of invasive tumor margins with prolonged signal retention.
