Using phage Lytic Enzymes to Control Pathogenic Bacteria
Our laboratory has developed phage lytic enzymes to prevent infection by specifically destroying disease bacteria on mucous membranes and in blood. Enzymes specific for S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes have been developed to be used nasally and orally to control these organisms in environments such as hospitals and nursing homes to prevent or markedly reduce serious infections by these pathogens. ...
متن کاملNon-specificity of Phage Enzymes
The phage enzymes can lyse the host in which they resides, but it is not yet known whether they show any effect on the non-susceptible hosts on solid media (Consortia). It is observed during our studies that the consortial lawn on the solid medium shows clear plaques irrespective of their specificity to the inoculated phages. The consortial studies indicate the combined application of phage enz...
متن کاملLytic Activity of Isolated Phage from Milk Against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Escherichia coli
Background and purpose: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection. The treatment strategy has been hampered by the emergence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E.coli and its resistance to most antibiotics. Bacteriophages are suggested as an alternative treatment option. This study aimed at evaluating the lytic activity of isolated phage from unpaste...
