OmpA and OmpC are critical host factors for bacteriophage Sf6 entry in Shigella.
Despite being essential for successful infection, the molecular cues involved in host recognition and genome transfer of viruses are not completely understood. Bacterial outer membrane proteins A and C co-purify in lipid vesicles with bacteriophage Sf6, implicating both outer membrane proteins as potential host receptors. We determined that outer membrane proteins A and C mediate Sf6 infection ...
متن کاملBacteriophage typing of Shigella sonnei.
A bacteriophage-typing schema was developed for differentiating strains of Shigella sonnei. Sixty-seven bacteriophages were obtained from other collections, and 36 bacteriophages were isolated from sewage. From these 103 bacteriophages, a provisional set of 12 was chosen by computer analysis as being the most sensitive in differentiating strains of S. sonnei isolated in the United States. The p...
متن کاملSurvival of Shigella in Sewage. Ii. Effect of Glycerol on Shigella Flexneri and Shigella Bacteriophage.
Glycerol (30%) inhibited or delayed the adsorption of Shigella bacteriophage on its host organism, S. flexneri II; glycerol also inhibited or delayed the burst of phage, whether or not adsorption was carried out in the presence of glycerol. Studies of the mechanisms of these effects showed that viscosity and osmotic shock probably were not responsible for either phenomenon. The inhibition of ad...
متن کاملThe in Vivo Interaction between Staphylococcus Bacteriophage and Staphylococcus Aureus
Staphylococcus bacteriophage 81 is capable of in vivo interaction with Staphylococcus aureus, Type 80/81. This is immediately made evident by increased levels of bacteriophage and concomitant survival of 81 per cent infected mice. The reaction is dependent upon the use of active, type-specific bacteriophage. The maximal protective effect is observed at a bacteriophage to bacteria ratio of 1:2 a...
متن کاملInteraction between bacteriophage Z, and its Escherichia coil host
Bacteriophage ~. relies to a large extent on processes requiring interactions between viraland host-encoded proteins for its lytic growth, establishment of lysogeny, and release from the prophage state. Both biochemical and genetic studies of these interactions have yielded new information about important host and k functions. In particular, mutations in Escherichia coil that compromise k DNA r...
