Bacteriophage-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Mutant Confers Broad Immunity against Staphylococcal Infection in Mice
In the presence of a bacteriophage (a bacteria-attacking virus) resistance is clearly beneficial to the bacteria. As expected in such conditions, resistant bacteria emerge rapidly. However, in the absence of the phage, resistant bacteria often display reduced fitness, compared to their sensitive counterparts. The present study explored the fitness cost associated with phage-resistance as an opp...
متن کاملCorrelation of staphylococcal bacteriophage types to L-form colony production.
The ability of 258 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 132 strains of S. epidermidis to produce L-form colonies in a standard environment was investigated. Production of these colonies by S. aureus was correlated with their phage type. Phage type 7 strains produced L-form colonies in larger numbers and more consistently than those of phage type 80/81. No L-form colonies were produced by the S....
متن کاملReproducibility of staphylococcal bacteriophage types by use of different concentrations of bacteriophage.
A comparative investigation was carried out on the reproducibility of staphylococcal bacteriophage types at 100 routine test dilution (RTD) and at the conventional concentrations, RTD and 1,000 RTD. The comparison includes multiple typing of laboratory strains and duplicate isolates from hospital patients. No significant difference was found in the reproducibility of the types at the different ...
متن کاملISOLATION OF LYTIC BACTERIOPHAGE AB72P AGAINST MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII ISOLATES OBTAINED FROM BURN INFECTION
Background & Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative pathogen that causes a wide range of hospital-acquired infections. Due to its intrinsic traits and its remarkable abilities to quickly acquire resistance genes, it has become resistant to most antimicrobial agents and a major problem for hospitals. In recent years, application of lytic bacteriophages has been considered to eradicate ...
متن کاملDaptomycin treatment in patients with resistant staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infection
BACKGROUND Resistant staphylococcal organisms remain a serious problem in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Higher failure rates have been reported when vancomycin was used. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical dosage, effect, and safety of daptomycin in patients with resistant staphylococcal PJI. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with hip or kn...
