Peculiarities of Staphylococcus aureus phages and their possible application in phage therapy

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
Bacteriophage has become an attractive alternative for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. For the success of phage therapy, phage host range is an important criterion when considering a candidate phage. Most reviews of S. aureus (SA) phages have focused on their impact on host evolution, especially their contribution to the ...

Preliminary Reproducibility Evaluation of a Phage Susceptibility Testing Method Using a Collection of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus Phages.

The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND Increasing antimicrobial resistance combined with a lagging pipeline of novel antimicrobial compounds have resulted in a resurgence of interest in phage therapy. To select optimal phage or phage combinations for patients for whom phage therapy

Phage Transduction of Staphylococcus aureus

2023
Bacteriophage transduction is the major mechanism of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among many bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus, the phage-mediated acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that encode virulence and antibiotic resistance genes largely contribute to its evolutionary adaptation and genetic plasticity.

Phage typing of Staphylococcus intermedius

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1991
Staphylococcus intermedius, a coagulase-positive staphylococcal species, is a common canine pathogen and a rare human wound pathogen. A total of 145 strains of S. intermedius (ATCC 29663, 4 reference strains, 4 human isolates, 44 canine infection isolates, and 92 isolates from canine gingiva) were screened for lysogenic phage by a modified Fisk method.

Phages for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection

2023
Combating multi-drug resistant bacterial infections should be a universal urgency. The gram- positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria are generally harmless; healthy people frequently have them on their skin and nose. These bacteria, for the most part, produce no difficulties or only minor skin diseases.

Phage typing and phage induction in carrier and invasive Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991
Fifty-nine Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates (30 carrier and 29 invasive) were phage typed using the phage set developed by Pulverer. Poor results were obtained as only 24% of the invasive and 27% of the carrier isolates were typable, with no differences between these percentages (P greater than 0.05).
