Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) represent a group of prokaryotic microorganisms that are widely spread in the anoxic environment (seabed, riverbed and lakebed sediments, mud, intestinal tract humans animals, metal surfaces). SRB species also have an impact on processes occurring including connections between their presence inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Since these can develop antimicrobial ...

Bacteriophages, viruses that infect and replicate within prokaryotic cells are the most abundant life forms in environment, yet vast majority of them have not been properly reported or even discovered. Almost all bacteriophages infecting Enterobacteriaceae family, with Escherichia coli being major subject studies, isolated from wastewater, sewage, effluent resources. In present study, we focuse...

Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) is an important pathogen contaminating dairy products (e.g., milk pow-der) and causes high mortality in infants. Bacteriophage as a potential biocontrol agent good alternative method for the control of this production its environment. Thus, it to complete C. phage library by isolating characterizing broad host range bacteriophage against use. In study, strai...

Background and Objective: Phage therapy could be used as an alternative method to antibiotic treatments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activities of isolated lytic bacteriophage against ciprofloxacin-resistant strain of Salmonella infanits in vitro conditions. Materials and Methods: The standard strain of Salmonella infantis  and its specific bacteriophage was iso...

Background & Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative pathogen that causes a wide range of hospital-acquired infections. Due to its intrinsic traits and its remarkable abilities to quickly acquire resistance genes, it has become resistant to most antimicrobial agents and a major problem for hospitals. In recent years, application of lytic bacteriophages has been considered to eradicate ...

In these days that we are drifting into the post-antibiotic era, antibiotics called "last-resort" begun to be used more frequently. Colistin is one of last-resort act on Gram-negative bacteria. The aim study was investigate antibiotic re-sensitization effect lytic bacteriophages colistin resistant E. coli O157:H7 in-vitro. study, four isolates (encoded 25KA, 44RA, 120RA and 168KA) were included...

Abstract Background Bacteriophages are effective biocontrol strategy as well ecofriendly remedy for the emerging antibiotic and chemical resistance in bacterial phytopathogens such wilt-causing Ralstonia solanacearum . One of major challenges use bacteriophage therapy agricultural is maintaining their viability even during variations pH, temperature, ultraviolet irradiation, desiccation field a...

Soft rot pathogenic bacteria from the genus Dickeya cause severe economic losses in orchid nurseries worldwide, and there is no effective control currently available. In the last decade, the genus Dickeya has undergone multiple changes as multiple new taxa have been described, and just recently a new putative Dickeya species was reported. This study reports the isolation of three bacteriophages...
