The Role of Phage Therapy in Burn Wound Infections Management: Advantages and Pitfalls

Maria Manuel Azevedo et al.

Summary: This systematic review addresses the general characteristics of bacteriophages, their activity compared to conventional antibiotics, their effectiveness against biofilms, administration methods, and their use in burn wound infections. Although recognized for its potential value in modern wound care, specific aspects need to be considered, including the lack of consensus on therapeutic guidelines/regulatory policies and laboratory support that can predict efficacy.

Hitchhiking Behavior in Bacteriophages Facilitates Phage Infection and Enhances Carrier Bacteria Colonization

Zhuodong Yu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the lytic coliphage PHHO1 can hitchhike on carrier bacteria Bacillus cereus to infect host bacteria more effectively in biofilms. This mutualistic relationship enhances bacterial colonization, influences biofilm composition, and has the potential to mediate biofilm functions and moderate associated risks.

Structure and mechanism of the proton-driven motor that powers type 9 secretion and gliding motility

Rory Hennell James et al.

Summary: The study reveals the internal structure and working mechanism of the gliding motility/type 9 protein secretion system motor, demonstrating that proton flow results in rotation of the GldM/PorM dimer inside the intra-membrane ring to drive processes at the bacterial outer membrane.

Large-Scale Vortices with Dynamic Rotation Emerged from Monolayer Collective Motion of Gliding Flavobacteria

Daisuke Nakane et al.

Summary: The research uncovers a series of collective motions in nonflagellated bacteria, where vortex patterns spontaneously appear, integrate into large-scale circular plates, and exhibit counterclockwise rotation. Single cells move randomly, while densely packed cells move as a unit, showing a potential efficient strategy for nutrient-seeking behavior. This unique mode of collective motion driven by gliding motility suggests a new understanding of bacterial survival strategies under different environmental conditions.
