Diversity and host range of Shiga toxin-encoding phage.
Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) from the foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 is encoded on a temperate bacteriophage. Toxin-encoding phages from C600::933W and from six clinical E. coli O157:H7 isolates were characterized for PCR polymorphisms, phage morphology, toxin production, and lytic and lysogenic infection profiles on O157 and non-O157 serotype E. coli. The phages were found to be highly va...
متن کاملNon-specificity of Phage Enzymes
The phage enzymes can lyse the host in which they resides, but it is not yet known whether they show any effect on the non-susceptible hosts on solid media (Consortia). It is observed during our studies that the consortial lawn on the solid medium shows clear plaques irrespective of their specificity to the inoculated phages. The consortial studies indicate the combined application of phage enz...
متن کاملGlobal Phage Diversity
Ten new mycobacteriophage genomes presented by show that most phage diversity remains uncharacterized. Extrapolation suggests that less than 0.0002% of the global phage metagenome has been sampled. The new genomes also contain a number of potential virulence factors that may be important in pathogenesis.
متن کاملPhage typing reactions on Brucella species.
The nature of the phage typing reactions on Brucella species was determined by rates of adsorption and infection, one-step growth experiments, and susceptibility to lysis from without. The highest rates of adsorption and infection were obtained on smooth B. abortus cultures, and large clear plaques were produced. One or a few phage particles per B. neotomae cell killed about one-half of the cel...
متن کاملPhage–host interactions during pseudolysogeny
Although the study of phage infection has a long history and catalyzed much of our current understanding in bacterial genetics, molecular biology, evolution and ecology, it seems that microbiologists have only just begun to explore the intricacy of phage-host interactions. In a recent manuscript by Cenens et al. we found molecular and genetic support for pseudolysogenic development in the Salmo...
