Complete genome sequence of wide-host-range Staphylococcus aureus phage JD007.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-related infections have become a serious problem worldwide. Bacteriophage therapy is an alternative approach against this threat. S. aureus phage JD007, which belongs to the Myoviridae family according to transmission electron microscopic imaging, could lyse nearly 30% of the S. aureus strains from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, China, and was isolated fr...
متن کاملStudies on Streptomyces phage II. Host range and species differentiation.
The phage 514-3 of Streptomyces griseus described in the preceding paper (Gilmour et al., 1959) has from the time of its isolation from soil, showed a high infectivity for a large number of diverse Streptomyces species. The application of pure-lining procedures involving transfers from plaques and continued propagation on the homologous host S. griseus strain 3475 has not altered the observed b...
متن کاملGenomic characterization of Ralstonia solanacearum phage phiRSB1, a T7-like wide-host-range phage.
PhiRSB1 is a wide-host-range, T7-like bacteriophage that infects and efficiently lyses the phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum. The phiRSB1 genome comprises 43,079 bp of double-stranded DNA (61.7% G+C) with 325-bp terminal repeats and contains 47 open reading frames. Strong activity of tandem early promoters and wide specificity of phage promoters of phiRSB1 were demonstrated.
متن کاملDetection of Staphylococcus Aureus Enterotoxin Genes A-E
Abstract Background and Objective: The main cause of spreading staphylococcal infections among patients is the healthy carriers working in hospitals. With the secretion of different sorts of toxins such as entrotoxin, this bacteria can provide the conditions for attacking on the host. The main objective of this study is identification of the characteristics and differences in the Staphylococc...
متن کاملComplete genome of Staphylococcus aureus phage SA11.
A novel lytic bacteriophage, SA11, infecting Staphylococcus aureus was isolated, and the whole genome was sequenced. It belongs to the siphoviridae based on electron microscopic observation. It has a linear double-stranded DNA genome of 136,326 bp. Genomic analysis showed that it is distantly related to Staphylococcus phages A5W, K, ISP, Sb-1, and G1.
