Characterization of the Role of Exopolysaccharides in the Infection Cycle of Bacteriophage Petty
(2014-12-16)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has been difficult to eradicate from hospital settings due to its ability to form biofilm and colonize biotic and abiotic surfaces. Phages may represent ...
Genetic and biochemical characterization of λ spanin
(2013-09-26)
The lambda lysis genes Rz and Rz1 play an important role at the final step of bacterial cell lysis. Rz encodes an integral inner membrane protein and Rz1 encodes an outer membrane lipoprotein. These two proteins form a ...
Expression, Purification, and Characterization of a Polysaccharide Depolymerase from Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteriophage AbauYa1
(2012-04-20)
The use of bacteriophages offers an appealing alternative to antibiotics for the control of pathogenic bacteria. Recently, bacteriophage AbauYa1 was isolated as part of an effort to find phages to combat Acinetobacter ...
Protein Antibiotic of Phage M
(2015-11-18)
Phage mediated lysis of bacteria is one of the most common events in the biosphere, and a greater understanding of phage lysis mechanisms may lead to the development of novel antibacterial therapies. As they encode a single, ...
