Viral sequences are poorly annotated in environmental samples, a major roadblock to
understanding how viruses influence microbial community structure. Current annotation …

Bacteriophages are employed as cost-effective and efficient antibacterial agents to counter
the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other host bacteria in phage therapy. The …

Bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate group behavior in response to cell density,
and some bacterial viruses (phages) also respond to QS. In Staphylococcus aureus, the agr …

Background Salmonella infection in livestock and poultry causes salmonellosis, and is
mainly treated using antibiotics. However, the misuse use of antibiotics often triggers the …

The continuous deployment of various antibiotics to treat multiple serious bacterial infections
leads to multidrug resistance among the bacterial population. It has failed the standard …

With the fast emergence of serious antibiotic resistance and the lagging discovery of novel
antibacterial drugs, phage therapy for pathogenic bacterial infections has acquired great …

The present study explores the avenue of phage therapy as an alternative antimicrobial
therapeutic approach to counter multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa …

Bacteriophages are an invaluable source of novel genetic diversity. Sequencing of phage
genomes can reveal new proteins with potential uses as biotechnological and medical tools …

Mycobacterial infections are a group of life-threatening conditions triggered by fast-or slow-
growing mycobacteria. Some mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, promote …

RNA and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) phages make up an understudied subset of
bacteriophages that have been rapidly expanding in the last decade thanks to …
