: Bacteriophages have been investigated as alternative to the treatment of bacterial infections, including bovine mastitis, in production animals. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated in vitro efficiency of phages of Staphylococcus aureus against S ...

The effort to discover novel phages infecting Staphylococcus epidermidis contributes to both the development of phage therapy and the expansion of genome-based phage phylogeny. Here, we report the genome of an S.

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.

Bacteriophage classification for assembled contigs using Graph Convolutional Network [PDF]
Motivation: Bacteriophages (aka phages), which mainly infect bacteria, play key roles in the biology of microbes. As the most abundant biological entities on the planet, the number of discovered phages is only the tip of the iceberg. Recently, many new phages have been revealed using high throughput sequencing, particularly metagenomic sequencing ...

The present work describes LC-ESI-MS/MS MS (liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry) analyses of tryptic digestion peptides from phages that infect mastitis-causing Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy products.

Sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus cultures of different biological origin to commercial bacteriophages and phages of Staphylococcus aureus var. bovis [PDF]
Background and Aim: Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is an ongoing problem in dairy herds. In this study, we determined the sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus cultures of different biological origins to commercial bacteriophages and ...

Metagenomic analysis of therapeutic PYO phage cocktails from 1997 to 2014 [PDF]
Phage therapy has regained interest in recent years due to the alarming spread of antibiotic resistance. Whilst phage cocktails are commonly sold in pharmacies in countries such as Georgia and Russia, this is not the case in western countries due to ...

Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

The Complete Genome Sequence of the Staphylococcus Bacteriophage Metroid
Phages infecting bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus play an important role in their host’s ecology and evolution. On one hand, horizontal gene transfer from phage can encourage the rapid adaptation of pathogenic Staphylococcus enabling them to escape ...
