Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications Elizabeth Kutter, Alexander Sulakvelidze
Publisher: CRC Press

The TPs of viruses (not only present in as a potential tool in biology. Nov 24, 2013 - This overview summarizes principles of phage biology and their translation for therapeutic and preventive applications. Reprinted from Meaden S and Koskella B (2013) Exploring the risks of phage application in the environment. Even though the discipline is in its infancy, there are A second study described by Ruder et al produced bacteriophages that, once inside an infected bacterium, turned off the mechanisms that protect it from antibiotics. Aureus remains the major causal agent. Apr 4, 2008 - Although exciting, there are many other uses of phage that are just as revolutionary, but tend to slip by. The potential benefits of phage therapy are huge. Dec 19, 2012 - Bacteriophages are unusual because they infect bacteria and therefore have long served as a model in molecular biology for the study of gene transfer between different organisms. He might have been wrong about the biology but the premise that the cure is transmissible certainly seems possible with replicating phages. May 10, 2014 - Phage cocktail production. Typical production of phage biopesticide. Nov 15, 1997 - However, there was generally little interaction between those who were so effectively using phage as tools to understand molecular biology and those still working on phage ecology and therapeutic applications. Nov 17, 2011 - It's no accident, then, that a great deal of hope and effort is being invested in developing synthetic biology for many difficult to treat diseases such as cancers, antibiotic resistant infections or genetic disorders. Jan 2, 2014 - Amongst the wide array of microbes that are able to cause mastitis, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. This biotool could have multiple scientific applications in the field of molecular biology and biotechnology, through transient protein expression, or in the biomedical field, with applications in gene therapy, among others.
