Isolation of bacteriophages specific to bovine mastitis-causing bacteria and characterization of their lytic activity in pasteurized milk [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Bovine mastitis is one of the most serious issues in dairy production. It is caused by contagious and coliform pathogens such as Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

Diversity and function of phage encoded depolymerases [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteriophages of the Podoviridae family often exhibit so-called depolymerases as structural components of the virion. These enzymes appear as tail spike proteins (TSPs).

Discovery of the First LyticStaphylococcus pseudintermedius/ Staphylococcus aureus Polyvalent Bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2022 Background: There are no verified lytic Staphylococcus pseudintermedius phages in the literature and few temperate phage genomes in databases. S. pseudintermedius is an opportunistic zoonotic pathogen of great importance in veterinary and human medicine.

Bacteriophage-mediated competition in Bordetella bacteria [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (2006), 2005 Apparent competition between species is believed to be one of the principle driving forces that structure ecological communities, although the precise mecha nisms have yet to be characterized. Here we develop a model system that isolates phage-mediated interactions by neutralizing resource competition using two genetically identical Bordetella ...

Accurate identification of bacteriophages from metagenomic data using Transformer [PDF]
Briefings in Bioinformatics, Volume 23, Issue 4, July 2022,
bbac258, 2022 Motivation: Bacteriophages are viruses infecting bacteria. Being key players in microbial communities, they can regulate the composition/function of microbiome by infecting their bacterial hosts and mediating gene transfer. Recently, metagenomic sequencing, which can sequence all genetic materials from various microbiome, has become a popular means for

Complete Genome of Staphylococcus aureus Phage SA11 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2012 ABSTRACT A novel lytic bacteriophage, SA11, infecting Staphylococcus aureus was isolated, and the whole genome was sequenced. It belongs to the siphoviridae based on electron microscopic observation. It has a linear double-stranded DNA genome of 136,326 bp.

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
, 2016 The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.
