Antibiotic therapy has become increasingly ineffective against bacterial infections due to the
rise of resistance. In particular, ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus …

Phage therapy is a medical form of biological control of bacterial infections, one that uses
naturally occurring viruses, called bacteriophages or phages, as antibacterial agents …

Abstract Background Nontuberculous Mycobacterium infections, particularly Mycobacterium
abscessus, are increasingly common among patients with cystic fibrosis and chronic …

In response to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance, there is an increased demand
for novel and innovative antimicrobials. Bacteriophages have been known for their potential …

Hundreds of trillions of diverse bacteriophages (phages) peacefully thrive within and on the
human body. However, whether and how phages influence their mammalian hosts is poorly …

Mycobacteriophages—bacteriophages infecting Mycobacterium hosts—contribute
substantially to our understanding of viral diversity and evolution, provide resources for …

The genus Mycobacterium contains several slow-growing human pathogens, including
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, and Mycobacterium avium …

Bacterial drug resistance is rapidly developing as one of the greatest threats to human
health. Bacteria will adopt corresponding strategies to crack the inhibitory effect of antibiotics …

Mycobacteriophages show promise as therapeutic agents for non-tuberculous
mycobacterium infections. However, little is known about phage recognition of …

Growing antibiotic resistance and the broken antibiotic market have renewed interest in the
