Catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) caused by Proteus mirabilis are very difficult to treat due the ability of biofilm formation and drug resistance these bacteria. The aim this study was assess antibiofilm activity phages develop phage cocktail combat P. strains. Planktonic forms biofilms 50 tested uropathogenic strains showed different sensitivity 13 used. Phages 39APmC32, 65APm2833 72APm5211 presenting strong were selected as components. cocktails similar or slightly...
Bacteriophage therapy has emerged as a strategy supplementing traditional disinfection protocols to fight biofilms. The aim of the study was isolate phages against E. faecalis and characterize its biological features, morphology, lytic activity in formed biofilm model. Methods: ATCC 29212 strain used for trial. Two novel vB_Efa29212_2e vB_Efa29212_3e virulent were isolated from urban wastewater characterized. established 15 bovine teeth 21 days. Transmission (TEM) scanning electron (SEM)...
