Staphylococcus aureus strains of phage-group IV [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1967
Because the international basic set of staphylococcus typing phages includes only one member of group IV—phage 42 D—the group is insufficiently characterized. This set of phages is therefore not suitable for typing bovine strains of Staph. aureus. The addition of several further group IV phages would remedy this deficiency.

Forging a New Frontier: Antimicrobial Peptides and Nanotechnology Converging to Conquer Gastrointestinal Pathogens

Small, EarlyView.
This review explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and nanotechnology for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections. It analyzes bacterial resistance mechanisms, the antimicrobial actions of AMPs, and advances in nanocarriers, such as lipid‐based, polymeric, metallic, and mesoporous silica systems, that enhance peptide protection ...

Immunogene therapy with fusogenic nanoparticles modulates macrophage response to Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]

, 2018
The incidence of adverse effects and pathogen resistance encountered with small molecule antibiotics is increasing. As such, there is mounting focus on immunogene therapy to augment the immune system's response to infection and accelerate healing.

Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing

Small, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

Acquisition of virulence factors in livestock-associated MRSA: Lysogenic conversion of CC398 strains by virulence gene-containing phages

Scientific Reports, 2017
Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strains belonging to the clonal complex 398 (CC398) are highly prevalent in livestock and companion animals but may also cause serious infections in humans. CC398 strains in livestock usually do not possess well-known virulence

Fusion Phage as a Bioselective Nanomaterial : Evolution of the Concept [PDF]

Dans European Nano Systems Worshop - ENS 2006, Paris : France (2006), 2007
Multibillion-clone landscape phage display libraries were prepared by the fusion of the phage major coat protein pVIII with foreign random peptides. Phage particles and their proteins specific for cancer and bacterial cells were selected from the landscape libraries and exploited as molecular recognition interfaces in detection, gene- and drug-delivery

Machine Learning‐Assisted Prediction and Generation of Antimicrobial Peptides

Small Science, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐based in silico predictive and generative model is developed to engineer highly effective antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for combating multidrug‐resistant pathogens. An iterative algorithm involving peptide generation, scoring, and motif identification produces AMPs with high theoretical scores.

Germline-encoded neutralization of a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor by the human antibody repertoire. [PDF]

, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus is both an important pathogen and a human commensal. To explore this ambivalent relationship between host and microbe, we analysed the memory humoral response against IsdB, a protein involved in iron acquisition, in four healthy ...

An alternative method of phage-typingStaphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1968
As many cultures ofStaph. aureusuntypable by the international basic-set phages at RTD were typed by a block of 20 extra phages at RTD as by the basic set at RTD × 1000. Reproducibility of the lytic patterns was as good with the extra phages at RTD as with the basic-set phages at RTD, and better than with the basic-set phages at RTD × 1000.A method of ...
