Effect of Pasteurisation Techniques on Phages in Human Milk
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that are the natural predators of bacteria and highly abundant in human milk and the infant gut microbiome. However, the effect of pasteurisation on human milk phages is unknown.

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]
Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...

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%)..

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.

Propionibacterium acnes bacteriophages display limited genetic diversity and broad killing activity against bacterial skin isolates. [PDF]
UnlabelledInvestigation of the human microbiome has revealed diverse and complex microbial communities at distinct anatomic sites. The microbiome of the human sebaceous follicle provides a tractable model in which to study its dominant bacterial ...

Bacterial viruses enable their host to acquire antibiotic resistance genes from neighbouring cells [PDF]
Prophages are quiescent viruses located in the chromosomes of bacteria. In the human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, prophages are omnipresent and are believed to be responsible for the spread of some antibiotic resistance genes.

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
