Phage as a source of antibacterial genes
Bacteriophage-encoded proteins which inhibit or modify cellular components may contribute to antibacterial drug discovery by allowing the identification of novel targets. Given their abundance and diversity, phages may have various strategies in host inhibition and therefore may possess a variety of such proteins. Using Rhodococcus equi and phage YF1, we show that a single phage possesses numer...
متن کاملAntibacterial properties of nanoparticles.
Antibacterial agents are very important in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine, and food packaging. Organic compounds used for disinfection have some disadvantages, including toxicity to the human body, therefore, the interest in inorganic disinfectants such as metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing. This review focuses on the properties and applications of inorganic nanos...
متن کاملTuning Carbon Content and Morphology of FeCo/Graphitic Carbon CoreShell Nanoparticles using a SaltMatrixAssisted CVD Process
Among various magnetic nanoparticles that have been studied for potential biomedical applications, FeCo nanoparticles are promising candidates because of their high saturation magnetization and high Curie temperature. [ 3–5 ] However, the ease of oxidation, dissolution in acidic environments, and potential toxicity of these materials in their native state restrict their use in biomedical applic...
متن کاملAntibacterial phage ORFans of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LUZ24 reveal a novel MvaT inhibiting protein
The functional elucidation of small unknown phage proteins ('ORFans') presents itself as one of the major challenges of bacteriophage molecular biology. In this work, we mined the Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infecting phage LUZ24 proteome for antibacterial and antibiofilm proteins against its host. Subsequently, their putative host target was identified. In one example, we observed an interaction be...
متن کاملThe discovery of small-molecule mimicking peptides through phage display.
Using peptides to achieve the functional and structural mimicry of small-molecules, especially those with biological activity or clear biotechnological applications, has great potential in overcoming difficulties associated with synthesis, or unfavorable physical properties. Combinatorial techniques like phage display can aid in the discovery of these peptides even if their mechanism of mimicry...
