Using phage Lytic Enzymes to Control Pathogenic Bacteria
Our laboratory has developed phage lytic enzymes to prevent infection by specifically destroying disease bacteria on mucous membranes and in blood. Enzymes specific for S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes have been developed to be used nasally and orally to control these organisms in environments such as hospitals and nursing homes to prevent or markedly reduce serious infections by these pathogens. ...
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 کاملLytic Activity of Isolated Phage from Milk Against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Escherichia coli
Background and purpose: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection. The treatment strategy has been hampered by the emergence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E.coli and its resistance to most antibiotics. Bacteriophages are suggested as an alternative treatment option. This study aimed at evaluating the lytic activity of isolated phage from unpaste...

Bacteriol. 88:676-681. 1964-Several typing phages, adsorbed in sufficient concentrations to their homologous propagating strains, altered the cell surface so as to render the cells sensitive to rapid an...
متن کاملComparative Modeling of Lytic and Lysogenic Phage-host Systems
Bacteriophages are the most abundant organisms on the planet and play crucial roles in bacterial population dynamics, microbial food webs, and nutrient cycling. Understanding models of bacteriophage population dynamics is necessary to fully understand these ecological processes, but to do so we must mathematically distinguish between the different virus life cycles. Here, we build on two three-...
