Phage typing of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1953
Phage adsorption by resistant staphylococci was studied.Staphylococcal cultures previously allowed to adsorb phage to which they were resistant remained as sensitive to their appropriate phages as normal cultures of the same strains.When pooled related and unrelated phages were incubated with their propagating strains, the results resembled those ...

The Adsorption of Phage by Staphylococcus spp.

Journal of General Virology, 1981
Phages for coagulase-negative staphylococci were adsorbed to heat-killed cells. The phages showed equal affinities for all the cells, which appeared to have an equal number of binding sites for all the phages tested. This number is estimated at 1.2 x 10(6) sites/cell. Competition for binding sites could be demonstrated between a pair of phages.

Improving the Safety of Staphylococcus aureus Polyvalent Phages by Their Production on a Staphylococcus xylosus Strain

PLoS ONE, 2014
Team1 (vB_SauM_Team1) is a polyvalent staphylococcal phage belonging to the Myoviridae family. Phage Team1 was propagated on a Staphylococcus aureus strain and a non-pathogenic Staphylococcus xylosus strain used in industrial meat fermentation. The two Team1 preparations were compared with respect to their microbiological and genomic properties.

How the other half lives: CRISPR-Cas's influence on bacteriophages [PDF]

Evolutionary Biology : Self, Non-Self Evolution, Species and Complex Traits, Evolution, Methods and Concepts, ISBN 978-3-319-61569-1, edited by Pierre Pontarotti, Springer Nature, September 2017, pp. 63-85, 2017
CRISPR-Cas is a genetic adaptive immune system unique to prokaryotic cells used to combat phage and plasmid threats. The host cell adapts by incorporating DNA sequences from invading phages or plasmids into its CRISPR locus as spacers.

Isolation, characterization, and genomic analysis of three novel Herelleviridae family lytic bacteriophages against uropathogenic isolates of Staphylococcus saprophyticus. [PDF]

Virol J
Background Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus) is the second most prevalent etiological agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young women. However, there is a paucity of data regarding its bacteriophage (phage).

Phage Therapy for Orthopaedic Infections: The First Three Cases from the United Kingdom. [PDF]

Antibiotics (Basel)
Background: Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. The antimicrobial resistance crisis has driven renewed interest in phage therapy, including the use of phages to treat chronic orthopaedic infections.

PhaTYP: Predicting the lifestyle for bacteriophages using BERT [PDF]

Briefings in Bioinformatics, November 2022, 2022
Bacteriophages (or phages), which infect bacteria, have two distinct lifestyles: virulent and temperate. Predicting the lifestyle of phages helps decipher their interactions with their bacterial hosts, aiding phages' applications in fields such as phage therapy.

Isolation and evaluation of the efficacy of bacteriophages against multidrug-resistant (MDR), methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and biofilm-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus recovered from bovine mastitis

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the major causes of bovine mastitis with significant economic losses around the worldwide. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR), methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and biofilm-producing strains of S.
