Bioprospecting Staphylococcus Phages with Therapeutic and Bio-Control Potential. [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious threat to the public health. This is also true for Staphylococcus aureus and other staphylococci. Staphylococcus phages Stab20, Stab21, Stab22, and Stab23, were isolated in Albania. Based on genomic

Determinants of Phage Host Range in Staphylococcus Species. [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019 Bacteria in the genus Staphylococcus are important targets for phage therapy due to their prevalence as pathogens and increasing antibiotic resistance.

Comparison of Staphylococcus Phage K with Close Phage Relatives Commonly Employed in Phage Therapeutics [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2018 The increase in antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is a public health danger requiring alternative treatment options, and this has led to renewed interest in phage therapy. In this respect, we describe the distinct host ranges of Staphylococcus phage K, and two other K-like phages against 23 isolates, including 21 methicillin-resistant S ...

Stability of bacteriophages in burn wound care products [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Bacteriophages could be used along with burn wound care products to enhance antimicrobial pressure during treatment. However, some of the components of the topical antimicrobials that are traditionally used for the prevention and treatment of burn wound ...

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

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView., 2023 This review discusses the use of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Various SERS studies used with AI techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, are analyzed for their advantages and limitations.

Phage typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1976 Thirteen phages were isolated from lysogenic cultures of Staphylococcus epidermidis from a clinical laboratory and used to type 223 clinical isolates of this organism. The 18 phages isolated in The Netherlands were used to type these same cultures. No correlation was observed between phage type, biotype, or clinical source of isolation.

Antibacterial Efficacy of Two Commercially Available Bacteriophage Formulations, Staphylococcal Bacteriophage and PYO Bacteriophage, Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Prevention and Eradication of Biofilm Formation and Control of a Systemic Infection of Galleria mellonella Larvae [PDF]
, 2020 Sessile bacteria growing on surfaces are more resistant to standard antibiotics than their planktonic counterpart. Due to their antimicrobial properties, bacteriophages have re-emerged as a promising approach to treat bacterial biofilm-associated ...

Skin Swabbing for Staphylococcus aureus–Targeting Phages [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2021 ABSTRACTIntroductionStaphylococcus aureus (SA) is a major human bacterial pathogen increasingly refractory to antibiotics. Given the dearth of novel antibiotics in the developmental pipeline, we require concerted efforts at optimizing novel antimicrobial approaches.

Phages of Staphylococcus aureus and their impact on host evolution [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2014 Most of the dissimilarity between Staphylococcus aureus strains is due to the presence of mobile genetic elements such as bacteriophages or pathogenicity islands. These elements provide the bacteria with additional genes that enable them to establish a new lifestyle that is often accompanied by a shift to increased pathogenicity or a jump to a new host.
