Bacteriophages in Soil
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the course of certain experiments designed to demonstrate ' antagonistic bacteria ' for intestinal pathogenic bacteria of man, the interesting observation was made, that manysamples of garden and field soil contain bacteriophages active against these organisms. A 1 in 100 suspension in saline of soil when added in 1 c.cm. amounts to melted agar containing a thick suspension of one of the test bacteria and poured, after incubation, showed

Isolation, characterization and therapeutic potential assessment of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis
In the present study, the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages virulent to Staphylococcus aureus associated with goat mastitis were isolated, identified and assessed. Staphylococcus aureus (host or indicator bacterium) was isolated from a goat suffering from clinical mastitis. Based on cultural, morphological, biochemical tests and amplification of S. aureus specific thermonuclease gene inPC...
متن کاملEnvironmental Factors Influencing Numbers of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii and Its Bacteriophages in Two Field Soils.
Fluctuations in numbers of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii and its bacteriophages in two fields with different soil types were followed during a 17-month period in 1981 and 1982. Mean levels of both phage and rhizobia varied significantly (P < 0.05) on different occasions, with rhizobial levels varying from 1.6 x 10 to 2.0 x 10 cell per g of soil and phage from 0 to 1.7 x 10 PFU/g of so...

Objective(s): During the last years with increasing resistant bacteria to the most antibiotics bacteriophages are suggested as appropriate treatment option. To investigate lytic activity of bacteriophages there are indirect microbial procedures and direct methods. The present study to complement microbial procedures and investigate ultra-structural characteristics of infection bacterium-phage u...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Lytic Bacteriophages on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolates with Multidrug Resistance (MDR) in Tehran in 2021
Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium has a high resistance to most anti-Pseudomonas drugs, which has caused concern all over the world. Therefore, the effect of lytic bacteriophages on Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with multi-drug resistance is investigated in this research. Methods and Materials: Different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium were identified and isolated fr...
