The core phageome and its interrelationship with preterm human milk lipids

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Phages and lipids in human milk (HM) may benefit preterm infant health by preventing gastrointestinal pathobiont overgrowth and microbiome modulation. Lipid association may promote vertical transmission of phages to the infant.

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Polyvalent Phage CoNShP-3 as a Natural Antimicrobial Agent Showing Lytic and Antibiofilm Activities against Antibiotic-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Strains

open access: yesFoods, 2020
Synthetic antimicrobials have a negative impact on food quality and consumer health, which is why natural antimicrobials are urgently needed. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) has gained considerable importance for food poisoning and infection in ...

Prospects for the creation of liposomal antimicrobials based on phages [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2023
The emergence of many pathogenic microorganisms, which are resistant to known antibiotics, indicates the need to find new strategies to fight them. Aim.

Anti-phage islands force their target phage to directly mediate island excision and spread. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is antagonized by the lytic phage ICP1 in the aquatic environment and in human hosts. Mobile genetic elements called PLEs (phage-inducible chromosomal island-like elements) protect V.

The Adsorption of Phage by Staphylococcus spp.

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1981
Phages for coagulase-negative staphylococci were adsorbed to heat-killed cells. The phages showed equal affinities for all the cells, which appeared to have an equal number of binding sites for all the phages tested. This number is estimated at 1.2 x 10(6) sites/cell. Competition for binding sites could be demonstrated between a pair of phages.

Phage and Antibiotic Combinations Reduce Staphylococcus aureus in Static and Dynamic Biofilms Grown on an Implant Material

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Staphylococcus aureus causes the majority of implant-related infections. These infections present as biofilms, in which bacteria adhere to the surface of foreign materials and form robust communities that are resilient to the human immune system and ...

Temperate Phages Influencing Lipase Production by Staphylococcus Aureus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1965
SUMMARY: Phages capable of changing the production of the ‘Tween’-splitting enzyme by lysogenic conversion of Staphylococcus aureus strains were isolated from lysogenic strains within the phage type 52/52A/80/81 complex. Phages isolated from TW- strains were able to block the production of the ‘Tween’-splitting enzyme when they lysogenized TW+ strains.

Bacterial viruses enable their host to acquire antibiotic resistance genes from neighbouring cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.
