Potent CRISPR-Cas9 inhibitors from Staphylococcus genomes. [PDF]

, 2020
Anti-CRISPRs (Acrs) are small proteins that inhibit the RNA-guided DNA targeting activity of CRISPR-Cas enzymes. Encoded by bacteriophage and phage-derived bacterial genes, Acrs prevent CRISPR-mediated inhibition of phage infection and can also block ...

Methods for eradication of the biofilms formed by opportunistic pathogens using novel techniques – A review [PDF]

, 2016
The inconvenient environmental conditions force microorganisms to colonize either abiotic surfaces or animal and plant tissues and, therefore, form more resistant structures – biofilms.

Two Novel Bacteriophages Control Multidrug- and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Biofilm

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
As a primary bacterial pathogen in companion animals, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius has zoonotic potential. This pathogen exhibits multidrug resistance, including resistance to methicillin, and biofilm-forming ability, making it hard to eradicate with ...

Biological properties of Staphylococcus virus ΦSA012 for phage therapy

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractStaphylococcus virus ΦSA012 has a wide host range and efficient lytic activity. Here, we assessed the biological stability of ΦSA012 against temperature, freeze-thawing, and pH to clinically apply the phage. In addition, inoculation of ΦSA012 through i.p. and i.v.

Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]

, 2019
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

The Influence of Acridines on the Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus K phage [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1951
SUMMARY: The inhibition of multiplication of staphylococcus K bacteriophage by six acridines and two amidines has been studied using mass lysis and one-step growth curve techniques. The effect of the different inhibitors upon the growth rate of the organisms was found to vary from below 5 to 100% inhibition at a concentration sufficient to double lysis-

Plasmids of phage-group-II Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1984
Most phage-Group-II Staphylococcus aureus have been shown to carry at least one plasmid. The proportion of strains that are resistant to tetracycline appears to have increased during the last 17 years. Restriction maps of several of the small plasmids isolated from Group-II strains are presented and compared with those known for staphylococcal plasmids.

Deciphering the Genetic Architecture of Staphylococcus warneri Prophage vB_G30_01: A Comprehensive Molecular Analysis. [PDF]

Viruses
The current knowledge of Staphylococcus warneri phages is limited, with few genomes sequenced and characterized. In this study, a prophage, vB_G30_01, isolated from Staphylococcus warneri G30 was characterized and evaluated for its lysogenic host range ...
