Highlights•Phages need to attach to a receptor on the bacterial surface to initiate infection.•It
is not common practice to identify these receptors before phage therapy use.•Identifying …

The global problem of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is quickly developing in most
antibiotics used in hospitals and livestock. Recently, the infections with multi-drug resistant …

Phage therapy has recently attracted a great deal of attention to counteract the rapid
emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In comparison to monophage therapy, phage …

The globally increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microorganisms
such as Shigella, a cause of human acute gastrointestinal infections, calls for developing …

In this study, we describe the characterization of 67 Salmonella enterica phages isolated
from Kenya. Specifically, the phages were isolated from chicken feces as well as from swabs …

In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that bacteriophages (phages) can inhibit
infection caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Here, we isolated a new phage …

Shigellosis is a leading global cause of diarrheal disease and travelers' diarrhea now being
complicated by the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, necessitating the development of …

Background Bacteriophages were discovered just over 100 years ago and have been used
to treat bacterial infections in animals since the 1920s. The antimicrobial resistance crisis …

Shigella-controlled human infection models (CHIMs) are an invaluable tool utilized by the
vaccine community to combat one of the leading global causes of infectious diarrhea, which …

Ten bacteriophages with lytic activity against Shigella flexneri were tested for their
resistance to physicochemical conditions found in food matrices. Phage viability and activity …
