The most prominent groups are: - Phages with high abundance, broad distribution, and low inter-sample variation (e.g., T4-like cyanophages, Bordetella phages, and Streptomyces Phage Mu1/6). This ...

aeruginosa infections in animal models and are associated with worse skin and lung infections in humans. Here we review the biology of Pf phage and what is known about its contributions to ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. The sewage water samples for phage isolation were collected in ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

TAB-seq was performed by glycosylating genomic DNA extracted from β-cells with T4 phage β-glucosyltransferase (NEB), followed by oxidation with TET2, and finally by treatment with sulfite. The PBAT ...

One of these has been to rescue phage therapy from history, which consists of using bacteriophage viruses (phages) to exterminate resistant bacteria. Thousands of treated patients have demonstrated ...

Objective The gut virome is a dense community of viruses inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract and an integral part of the microbiota. The virome coexists with the other components of the microbiota ...
