Abstract Bacteriophages constitute a major component of the human gut virome, playing very important roles in shaping of the structure and function of the gut microbiota. Moreover, bacteriophages interact with the human ...

Viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages or phages) are the most abundant biological entities in thebiosphere. Phages play a central role in shaping microbial communities and regulating global biogeochemicalcycles. T...

Abstract In this study, we isolated and characterized a bacteriocin-producing strain and two bacteriophages (P4, A3), showing antimicrobial effects against Clostridium perfringens, from chicken and swine feces by the spo...

The effect of several biocides, thermal treatments, and photocatalysis on the viability of four Lactobacillus plantarum phages was investigated. Times to achieve 99% inactivation (T99) of phages at 63, 72, and 90°C were...

Bacteriophages play significant roles in the composition, diversity, and evolution of bacterial communities. Despite their importance, it remains unclear how phage diversity and phage-host interactions are spatially stru...

One of the modern methods of treatment of wounds covered by a biofilm is bacteriophage therapy. Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. Phages have a very strong bactericidal effect and can replicate at...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease, triggers severe inflammation and reproductive complications in both humans and animals. The standard treatment protocol relies on prolonged antibiotic courses, often combining streptomyci...

Los líquenes representan una forma de vida compleja caracterizada por una asociación simbiótica entre al menos dos organismos: un hongo y un alga. En esta relación única, el hongo ofrece un hábitat protector para e...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Abstract This study aimed to inhibit Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 artificially contaminated in fresh meat using bacteriophage. Among 14 bacteriophages, the highly lytic bacteriophage BPECO19 strain was selected to ...

Abstract In this study, two Listeria bacteriophages, LMP1 and LMP7, were isolated from chicken feces as a means of biocontrol of L. monocytogenes. Both bacteriophages had a lytic effect on L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644, 153...

Background: Bacteriophages constitute a great threat to the activity of lactic acid bacteria used in industrial processes. Several factors can influence the infection cycle of bacteriophages. That is the case of the phys...

Abstract Since their discovery, bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—have been invaluable to molecular biology and biotechnology. Renewed interest in phage-based antimicrobials, driven by the global antibiotic...

Abstract The CRISPR‐Cas system constitutes an adaptive immune mechanism in prokaryotes that defends against mobile genetic elements. Within the perpetual co‐evolutionary arms race between bacteria and their viral pre...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Infectious keratitis (IK) is classified as a critical ophthalmic emergency, with the potential to result in vision‐impairing complications. The treatment approach involves the use of pharma...

In this chapter, we explore the physicochemical composition of whey from bovine milk, the most representative technologies used for the production of added-value products and bioactive compounds or biomolecules from indu...

Shigella is one of the most important waterborne and foodborne bacterial pathogens in the world. The species most commonly isolated from shigellosis patients is Shigella flexneri, which is found predominantly in developi...

"El objetivo general de la tesis fue profundizar el conocimiento de las interacciones presentes en las interfases entre superficies, microorganismos y nanomateriales en medios acuosos. En particular se estudiaron las int...
