The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant last resort as well front line antibiotic treatments. use bacteriophages an attractive alternative controlling and treating this emerging nosocomial pathogen. In study, we have investigated collected from hospital wastewater in Thailand explored their activity against A. baumannii. Bacteriophage vB_AbaM_PhT2 showed 28% host range 150...
Increasing antibiotic resistance has led to renewed attention being paid bacteriophage therapy. Commercial phage cocktails are available but often their contents of the phages not well defined. Some metagenomic studies have been done retrospectively characterise these cocktails, little is known about replication cycle included phages, or possible bacterial DNA contamination. In this study, published sequences were reanalysed using recent advances in viromics tools. Signs temperate contigs...
