Bacteriophage: laboratorial diagnosis and phage therapy
Bacteriophages have been researched as a new alternative to antibiotics. These viruses inject their genetic material into bacteria and use their host machinery to multiply themselves. The research of bacteriophages in Brazil will certainly provide low-cost treatment of multidrug resistant bacteria, new microbiological diagnosis and advantages for the Brazilian food industry.
متن کاملOptimal bacteriophage mutation rates for phage therapy.
The mutability of bacteriophages offers a particular advantage in the treatment of bacterial infections not afforded by other antimicrobial therapies. When phage-resistant bacteria emerge, mutation may generate phage capable of exploiting and thus limiting population expansion among these emergent types. However, while mutation potentially generates beneficial variants, it also contributes to a...
متن کاملLaboratorial Diagnosis of Syphilis
Syphilis is a curable sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum; the infection can also be passed from mother to her fetus during pregnancy. Diagnosis of syphilis is based on clinical evaluation, detection of the causative organism, and confirmation of the disease by serodiagnosis. T. pallidum cannot be cultured in the laboratory, but can be identified in lesions...
متن کاملFormulation, stabilisation and encapsulation of bacteriophage for phage therapy.
Against a backdrop of global antibiotic resistance and increasing awareness of the importance of the human microbiota, there has been resurgent interest in the potential use of bacteriophages for therapeutic purposes, known as phage therapy. A number of phage therapy phase I and II clinical trials have concluded, and shown phages don't present significant adverse safety concerns. These clinical...
متن کاملLaboratorial diagnosis of animal brucellosis Diagnóstico laboratorial da brucelose
Brucellosis, originally known as a Malta fever or undulant fever, is a disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella that are host restricted and affect several mammalian species, including humans. It is a zoonosis widely distributed around the world, which causes great economic losses in farm animals due to abortion, the slaughter of infected animals, birth of weak animals, decrease in milk...
