Comparison of Staphylococcus Phage K with Close Phage Relatives Commonly Employed in Phage Therapeutics [PDF]
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 typing of Staphylococcus saprophyticus [PDF]
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

Phage typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis [PDF]
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.

Skin Swabbing for Staphylococcus aureus–Targeting Phages [PDF]
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.

Staphylococcal Phages Adapt to New Hosts by Extensive Attachment Site Variability
Bacterial pathogens commonly carry prophages that express virulence factors, and human strains of Staphylococcus aureus carry Sa3int phages, which promote immune evasion.

The Adsorption of Phage by Staphylococcus spp.
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.

BOVINE SUBCLINICAL MASTITIS: BACTERIAL ISOLATION AND PHAGE TYPING OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATES
Out of 107 COW milk samples, 44(41.12%) yielded bacterial growth. The isolates were identified according to their cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics as Staphylococcus aureus (40.91%)..

Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus aureus Phage ESa2
We describe the genome of a lytic phage, ESa2, isolated from environmental water and specific for Staphylococcus aureus . ESa2 belongs to the family Herelleviridae and genus Kayvirus .

Temperate Phages of Staphylococcus aureus
ABSTRACT Most Staphylococcus aureus isolates carry multiple bacteriophages in their genome, which provide the pathogen with traits important for niche adaptation. Such temperate S. aureus phages often encode a variety of accessory factors that influence virulence, immune evasion and

EFFECT OF SODIUM CHLORIDE ON STAPHYLOCOCCUS-PHAGE RELATIONSHIPS [PDF]
West, B. (University of Oklahoma Medical Center, Oklahoma City),Florene C. Kelly, and Doris A. Shields. Effect of sodium chloride on staphylococcus-phage relationships. J. Bacteriol.86:773–780. 1963.—Phage patterns of 21 phage-propagating strains of staphylococci on medium with high NaCl content appeared to be an expression of the staphylococcal cells,
