Most inverse classification algorithms address discrete attributes and can not deal with quantitative attributes. In order to overcome the disadvantage, the discretization algorithms are applied to the inverse classification algorithms, and the main idea is: firstly, a group of feature attributes are selected by using feature selection algorithm; then, the quantitative attributes are discretize...

The complete genome of bacteriophage CVT22 infecting Citrobacter sp. strain TM1552 is reported here. Both the bacteriophage and Citrobacter sp. TM1552 were isolated from the gut of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus. This is the first report of a genome sequence of a bacteriophage isolated from the termite gut.

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. Bacteriophage do not infect animal and plant cells, which makes them a potentially safe alternative to antibiotics. We have been conducting research on the efficacy of bacteriophage to prevent and treat colibacillosis in poultry. Bacteriophages that were lytic to a non-motile, serotype 02 isolate of Escherichia coli were isolated from mu...

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...

It has already been reported by Izeki and Sakai (1) (2) that S . newington is lysogenic and the bacteriophage liberated from this micro-organism transduces the antigenic structure of S. anatum (3.10) to that of S . newington (3.15). During the study of this transduction phenomenon, it was found that there was sometimes a mutant strain of S. anatum on which the bacteriophage liberated from S. ne...

Bacteriophage ch2, a virulent bacteriophage of Lactobacillus bulgaricus CH2, was characterized according to its morphology, genome size, structural proteins, and growth kinetics. Electron micrographs revealed that bacteriophage ch2 has an icosahedral head of 50-nm diameter and a long tail of 170 nm. Its genome is linear and 35 kilobases in length, and its structural proteins consist of two majo...

Bacteriophage display of antibodies provides a method for the generation of immunological reagents against rare and uncharacterized antigens. To ascertain the usefulness of this approach for the characterization of inner-ear proteins, we produced a bacteriophage-displayed antibody-fragment library directed against proteins from the bullfrog's sacculus. This library was probed for bacteriophage ...

In persons with structural lung disease, particularly those with cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic airway infections cause progressive loss of lung function. CF airways can be colonized by a variety of microorganisms; the most frequently encountered bacterial and fungal pathogens are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus, respectively. Co-infection with P. aeruginosa and A. fumigatus oft...
