Antibiotics have revolutionized medicine, saving countless lives since their discovery in the
early 20th century. However, the origin of antibiotics is now overshadowed by the alarming …

A global medical crisis is unfolding as antibiotics lose effectiveness against a growing
number of bacterial pathogens. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) contributes significantly to …

Abstract Development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the major issues in the
present world and one of the greatest threats faced by mankind. Resistance is spread …

Bacteriophages, viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria, impact bacterial responses
to antibiotics in complex ways. Recent studies using lytic bacteriophages to treat bacterial …

In this article we explain how current events in the field of phage therapy may positively
influence its future development. We discuss the shift in position of the authorities …

The host range of bacteriophages defines their impact on bacterial communities and
genome diversity. Here, we characterize 94 novel staphylococcal phages from wastewater …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major threat to global health. Infection caused
by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the well-recognized global …

Abstract The George Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, Microbiology and Virology (IBMV) in
Tbilisi, Georgia; the Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy in Wroclaw …

Most Staphylococcus aureus isolates carry multiple bacteriophages in their genome, which
provide the pathogen with traits important for niche adaptation. Such temperate S. aureus …

Bacteriophage may play an important role in antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs)
transmission. However, the contribution of bacteriophage to the spread of ARGs in …
