Backgorund: Bacteriophages are closely related to the evolution and virulence of some important bacterial pathogens. Due their highly significant roles in pathogenesis virulence, S. aureus bacteriophages frequently studied. grouped into two main categories depending on life cycles. There consistently lytic phages (virulent) temperate phages. This study aimed isolate determine phage serogroups f...

Two bacteriophage collections were examined with regard to their ability to form plaques on multiple bacterial host species. Nine of 10 phages studied were found to be broad-host-range bacteriophages. These phages fell into two groups. Group 1, the SN series, was isolated from sewage treatment plant samples with Sphaerotilus natans ATCC 13338 as a host. The DNAs of these bacteriophages containe...

BACKGROUND There is interest in applying bacteriophages to control Salmonella in pig production and pork processing. The following reports on the prevalence of Salmonella infecting bacteriophages within Ontario pig farms and associated with the holding area of a pork slaughterhouse. RESULTS Salmonella infecting bacteriophages were present in 30 and 28 of the effluent manure samples collected ...

Despite being more abundant and having smaller genomes than their bacterial host, relatively few bacteriophages have had their genomes sequenced. Here, we isolated 14 bacteriophages from cattle slurry and performed de novo genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation. The commonly used marker genes polB and terL showed these bacteriophages to be closely related to members of the genus Seuratviru...

Three bacteriophages, f20-Xaj, f29-Xaj, and f30-Xaj, with lytic activity against Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis were isolated from walnut trees (VIII Bío Bío Region, Chile). These lytic bacteriophages have double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes of 43,851 bp, 41,865 bp, and 44,262 bp, respectively. These are the first described bacteriophages with lytic activity against X. arboricola pv. jugl...

UNLABELLED Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important colonizer in animals and an opportunistic pathogen in humans. In humans, MRSA can cause infections that might be difficult to treat because of antimicrobial resistance. The use of bacteriophages has been suggested as a potential approach for the control of MRSA colonization to minimize the-often occupational-exposure ...

Bacteriophages were isolated from raw sewage and selected based on the size clarity of plaque that formed. The phages further enriched purified. bacteriophages found to be able lyse Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate sewage. virulent bacterial viruses widespread occurrence in nature Bacterial applied control pathogenic bacteria different fields successfully. Therefore, this work aimed study is capa...

Research and development on innovative packaging materials have advanced significantly to safeguard packaged food against microbial contamination oxidation. Active has recently developed as a practical approach reducing oxidation microbiological growth in goods, extending their shelf life protecting consumers from potential harm. includes O2, CO2 scavengers, moisture absorbers, U. V. barriers, ...

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...

Aim. As the activity of bacteriophages is species- and strain-specific, it necessary to study bacteriophage sensitivity in distinct geographic regions with various disease patterns. Here, we aimed lytic specific commercially available against Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp. , Staphylococcus aureus isolated from intestines children gut dysbiosis. Materials Methods. Bacteriophage was assessed 315 o...
