Its derivatives deprived of one or two plasmids were constructed in this work, as described further in the text. P1 c1-100 Tn9 (Łobocka et al., 2004), a mutant of P1 bacteriophage, was used to study ...

Introduction. Bacteriophage P1 is a model temperate tailed myovirus of known genomic sequence (93.6 kb) isolated from Escherichia coli (Bertani, 1951; Yarmolinsky and Sternberg, 1988; Łobocka et al., ...

In a recent review published in Cell, researchers presented an overview of bacteriophage treatment, including mechanisms, types, design and applications of bacteriophage therapy. Study: Phage ...

Bacteriophages (phages) are selective viral predators of bacteria. Abundant and ubiquitous in nature, phages can be used to treat bacterial infections (phage therapy), including refractory infections ...

A team of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California San Diego used a single bacteriophage to treat an immunocompromised patient ...

Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that recognise specific species and even strains of bacteria. The name also means “bacterium eater”. Phage therapy was introduced already a century ago, in the ...
