Research in microbiology.Res Microbiol.2014 Oct 2. pii: S0923-2508(14)00186-7. doi: 10.1016/j.resmic.2014.09.006. [Epub ahead of print]
Shigellosis is one of major foodborne pathogens in both developed and developing countries. Although antibiotic therapy is considered an effective treatment for shigellosis, the imprudent use of antibiotics has led to the increase of multiple-antibiotic-resistant Shigella species globally. In this s

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) causes colibacillosis in poultry, leading to important economic losses worldwide. To cure APEC-infected chickens, a cocktail of four different APEC-specific bacteriophages (phages) was composed and tested. Specific phages were selected from a collection of ph

Comparative genomics defines the core genome of the growing N4-like phage genus and identifies N4-like Roseophage specific genes.

Frontiers in microbiology.Front Microbiol.2014 Oct 10;5:506. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2014.00506. eCollection 2014.
Two bacteriophages, RPP1 and RLP1, infecting members of the marine Roseobacter clade were isolated from seawater. Their linear genomes are 74.7 and 74.6 kb and encode 91 and 92 coding DNA sequences, respectively. Around 30% of these are homologous to genes found in Enterobacter phage N4. Comparative
