Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a well-known water-and food-borne
zoonotic pathogen that can cause gastroenteritis in humans. It threatens the health of …

Presently, biopreservation through protective bacterial cultures and their antimicrobial
products or using antibacterial compounds derived from plants are proposed as feasible …

Bacteriophages constitute an important part of the human gut microbiota, but their impact on
this community is largely unknown. Here, we cultivate temperate phages produced by 900 E …

Abstract E. coli O157: H7 is known as a high-risk food-born pathogen, and its removal is vital
for maintaining food safety. The increasing trend of food-borne diseases caused by this …

A novel lytic Serratia liquefaciens phage, named vB_SlqM_MQ-4, was isolated from
sewage. BLASTn analysis showed that the genome sequence of phage vB_SlqM_MQ-4 …

Background In recent years, there has been a growing interest in phage therapy as an
effective therapeutic tool against colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli …

As natural predators of bacteria, tailed bacteriophages can be used in biocontrol
applications, including antimicrobial therapy. Also, phage lysis is a detrimental factor in …

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are pathogens that, only in the United States,
cause more than 250,000 foodborne infections a year. Since antibiotics or other …

A novel lytic phage named vB_SlqS_ZDD2 was isolated from hospital sewage using the
double-layer agar method with Serratia liquefaciens ATCC 27592 as the host. BLASTn …

Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains of the serogroup O157 are foodborne
pathogens associated with severe clinical disease. As antibiotics are counter-indicated for …
