Identification and Functional Insights into New Phage Tail-Like Bacteriocins (PTLBs) Targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa as new antimicrobials

This study identifies 34 phage tail-like bacteriocins (PTLBs) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa genomes, with some showing strong antimicrobial activity against bacterial infections.

Studies in vitro e in vivo of Phage Therapy Medical Products (PTMPs) targeting clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae belonging to the clone ST512

This study develops and tests phage therapy medical products (PTMPs) against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST512 strains, showing partial efficacy and the need for antibiotic combination.

The LAMP-CRISPR-Cas13a technique for detecting CBASS-mechanism of phage resistance in bacteria

The paper develops a LAMP-CRISPR-Cas13a technique to detect bacterial anti-phage defence systems and assesses the role of quorum sensing in phage resistance.

Involvement of Pf-like phages in resistance to phage infection in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis patients

The paper identifies 12 new Pf-like phages in P. aeruginosa clinical isolates and links their presence to resistance against phage infection through novel anti-phage defence systems.

Molecular characteristics of phages located in Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli clinical isolates: New Phage-Like Plasmids

The paper analyzes 50 temperate bacteriophages from carbapenemase-producing E. coli isolates, classifying them into viral families and identifying functional features and potential plasmid-like properties.
