Introduction: Phages consist of nucleic acids and proteins that may lose their activity under
different physico-chemical conditions. The production process of phage formulations may …

Bacteriophages are viruses infecting bacterial cells. Since there is a lack of specific
receptors for bacteriophages on eukaryotic cells, these viruses were for a long time …

Background There is concern that the microbially rich activated sludge environment of
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic …

Despite advances in modern technologies, various foodborne outbreaks have continuously
threatened the food safety. The overuse of and abuse/misuse of antibiotics have escalated …

In light of spreading antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria, the development of
novel approaches to combat such microorganisms is crucial. Salmonella enterica is …

Bacteriophages (phages) are the most abundant biological entities in the biosphere. As
viruses that solely infect bacteria, phages have myriad healthcare and agricultural …

Phage therapy is the use of lytic bacteriophages to cure infections caused by bacteria. The
aim of this study is to isolate and to characterize the bacteriophages against Escherichia coli …

The characterization of a recently isolated bacteriophage, vB_Eco4M-7, which effectively
infects many, though not all, Escherichia coli O157 strains, is presented. The genome of this …

In recent years, the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and efforts to preserve food
microbiota have induced renewed interest in phage therapy. Phage cocktails, instead of a …

Bacteriophages (phages), highly prevalent in aquatic and terrestrial environments, have
emerged as novel antimicrobial agents in food and agricultural systems. Owing to their …
