The adsorption of bacteriophages (phages) onto host cells is, in all but a few rare cases, a
sine qua non condition for the onset of the infection process. Understanding the …

Initially described a century ago by William Twort and Felix d'Herelle, bacteriophages are
bacterial viruses found ubiquitously in nature, located wherever their host cells are present …

Bacteria that cause life-threatening infections in humans are becoming increasingly difficult
to treat. In some instances, this is due to intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance …

Inland aquaculture contributed by three major fish groups, including carps, tilapias, and
catfish plays a vital role in global food security and nutrition, particularly in low and middle …

Bacteriophages (phages) are critical players in the dynamics and function of microbial
communities and drive processes as diverse as global biogeochemical cycles and human …

Application of bacteriophages to eliminate foodborne pathogens in food matrices is an
emerging research field. In this study, a promising phage candidate specific for Salmonella …

Bacteriophage-encoded endolysins degrading the bacterial peptidoglycan are promising
antibacterials for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, endolysins have limited …

Complex interactions between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts play significant roles
in shaping the structure of environmental microbial communities, not only by genetic …

Salmonella contamination of fresh produce is the primary bacterial cause of a significant
number of foodborne outbreaks and infections. Bacteriophages can be used as natural …

Despite advances in modern technologies, various foodborne outbreaks have continuously
threatened the food safety. The overuse of and abuse/misuse of antibiotics have escalated …
