The 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 کاملStudies with Staphylococcus Bacteriophage I. The Preparation of Polyvalent Staphylococcus Bacteriophage *
The preparation of staphylococcus bacteriophage for investigative purposes and for clinical use is being carried out in many research and commercial laboratories. The reports from these various sources regarding the results obtained with such preparations are far from uniform. Among the reasons for such discordant results is the fact that a method leading to the preparation of a potent bacterio...
متن کاملAn Ultracentrifugal Analysis of Concentrated Staphylococcus Bacteriophage Preparations
Analytical observations have been made with the air ultracentrifuge on concentrated staphylococcus bacteriophage solutions and on these solutions inactivated by alkali, chymo-trypsin, and heat. All active solutions contain a homogeneous heavy component that sediments with a constant of s(20 degrees ) = ca. 650 x 10(-13) cm. sec.(-1) dynes(-1), has an apparent density of ca. 1.20, and a molecula...
متن کاملRelationship of antigen k to Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage type 187, of human and of canine origins.
Similarities as well as differences have been observed between phage type 187 Staphylococcus aureus cultures of human and of canine origins. Thus, all strains susceptible to phage 187, regardless of their host specificity, were agglutinated by absorbed serum k. (Furthermore, agglutinability of the autoclaved bacteria indicated a reaction with the k(1) component of the k-antigen complex.) On the...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis planktonic cells and biofilms to the lytic action of staphylococcus bacteriophage K.
AIMS To evaluate differences in biofilm or planktonic bacteria susceptibility to be killed by the polyvalent antistaphylococcus bacteriophage K. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the ability of phage K to infect and kill several clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis was tested. Strains were grown in suspension or as biofilms to compare the susceptibility of both phenotypes to the p...
