Phage P100 resistance in clinical & foodborne Listeria monocytogenes isolates is associated with adsorption-inhibiting mutations & fitness trade-offs.

Study shows diverse P100 resistance mechanisms in #Listeria & significant serovar‑dependent fitness costs.

Bacteriophage cocktail in drinking water suppresses systemic avian pathogenic Escherichia coli infection and pathology in laying hens.

High‑MOI phages cut APEC morbidity and mortality by 20–30%. Oral delivery worked best, removed lesions, lowered histology scores, and the cocktail stayed active without harming the cecal microbiota.

Golden Gate method enables fully-synthetic engineering of therapeutically relevant bacteriophages

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has seen a resurgence. However, the field remains largely limited to naturally occurring strains, as laborious strain engineering techniques have limited the pace of discovery and the creation of tailored therapeutic strains.

An article published in the journal "Microbiology Spectrum" reports the results of experiments based on the use of genetically modified #bacteriophage #viruses to combat strains of Escherichia coli #bacteria that developed resistance to various antibiotics. These findings offer a way to neutralize these bacteria and new insights into the interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria.
