Defying bacteriophages
Adaptations by hosts in response to parasitism are generally believed to reduce the susceptibility of the adapted individual. However, recent work on Escherichia coli showed that bacteria can fight deadly phage attacks by committing altruistic suicide upon infection, in order to prevent parasite transmission to nearby relatives. Here, we compare the efficiency of suicidal host defense with indi...
متن کاملLytic bacteriophages
Foodborne illnesses resulting from the consumption of produce commodities contaminated with enteric pathogens continue to be a significant public health issue. Lytic bacteriophages may provide an effective and natural intervention to reduce bacterial pathogens on fresh and fresh-cut produce commodities. The use of multi-phage cocktails specific for a single pathogen has been most frequently ass...
متن کاملBacteriophages of Erwinia amylovora.
Fifty bacteriophage isolates of Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight, were collected from sites in and around the Niagara region of southern Ontario and the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario. Forty-two phages survived the isolation, purification, and storage processes. The majority of the phages in the collection were isolated from the soil surrounding trees exhibiting fi...
متن کاملStudies on Streptococcal Bacteriophages
Evidence has been presented that the burst size in the Group A and Group C streptococcal phage-host systems are in general similar producing approximately 13 phage particles per infected coccus. The exception was the C1 phage which produced 10 times more virus particles than all the other phages tested. The eclipse period for the A25 phage-host system was found to extend for 34 min, while the C...
