Isolation, characterization and application of bacteriophage PSDA-2 against Salmonella Typhimurium in chilled mutton

Ziyu Sun et al.

Summary: In this study, a specific bacteriophage against Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated and characterized. The bacteriophage showed fast replication and high burst size, and it remained stable under a wide range of temperature and pH conditions. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the absence of lysogenic genes and virulence genes in the bacteriophage genome. Furthermore, experiments demonstrated that the bacteriophage effectively reduced the presence of Salmonella Typhimurium in chilled mutton.

Effect of halogenated indoles on biofilm formation, virulence, and root surface colonization by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Bilal Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of three indole derivatives, 4-chloroindole, 6-iodoindole, and 5-chloro-2-methyl indole, as antibiofilm and antivirulence agents against Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The compounds inhibit bacterial adherence, biofilm formation, growth, and the production of virulence factors. They also downregulate biofilm, virulence, motility, and stress-related genes. These findings suggest that the indole derivatives have promising activity against A. tumefaciens infections.

Isolation, characterization and genomic analysis of vB-AhyM-AP1, a lytic bacteriophage infecting Aeromonas hydrophila

B. Pallavi et al.

Summary: The study isolated and characterized a phage vB-AhyM-AP1 from sewage, showing lytic activity against Aeromonas hydrophila strains, including biofilms. Genome sequencing revealed vB-AhyM-AP1 as a strictly lytic phage without virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, indicating its potential safety for environmental and clinical applications.

Development of Auxotrophic Agrobacterium tumefaciens AGL1 by Tn5 Transposon for Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Transformation

Mohamed Sahrul Tamzil et al.

Summary: This research successfully addressed the common issue of explant contamination caused by Agrobacterium overgrowth during plant transformation by constructing specific auxotrophic mutants. The effectiveness of these mutants in transferring T-DNA was found not significantly different from the wild type, indicating a promising approach to prevent Agrobacterium overgrowth.

A combination therapy of Phages and Antibiotics: Two is better than one

Xianghui Li et al.

Summary: The emergence of antibiotic resistance is a major challenge for global health, leading to an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies due to a shortage of antibiotic pipelines. Phage-antibiotic synergy (PAS) has emerged as a promising approach to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens, by enhancing bacterial killing and reducing the development of antibiotic resistance through a combination of phages and antibiotics. Additionally, the genetic and molecular mechanisms of phage antibiotic synergy, as well as the potential of engineered phages in reducing bacterial pathogenicity, are addressed in this review.
