Jan 27, 2014 - Sequencing the genome allowed researchers to identify the gene for lysin, an enzyme that the virus uses to kill bacterial cells, that has potential use as an antibiotic or disinfecting agent. Aureus remains the major causal agent. He might have been wrong about the biology but the premise that the cure is transmissible certainly seems possible with replicating phages. They can be used to genetically manipulate eukaryotic cells, especially species that have large genomes like plants and mammals. Jan 2, 2014 - Amongst the wide array of microbes that are able to cause mastitis, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. Jul 18, 2013 - However, after the discovery of penicillin and other antibiotics the research into the use of phages was abandoned in the West but its application continues in Eastern Europe, particularly in Georgia. Oct 17, 2008 - This article will review the history of phage discovery, biology, medical uses, advantages and disadvantages, and the likely future of phage therapy. Reprinted from Meaden S and Koskella B (2013) Exploring the risks of phage application in the environment. The potential benefits of phage therapy are huge. May 10, 2014 - Phage cocktail production.
