Bacteriophage Receptors

01/01/2022 - "In the present study, we report that QS upregulated the expression of phage receptors, thus increasing phage adsorption and infection rates in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. "
01/01/2023 - "Using a transposon mutant library, we identified the host ompW gene as essential for phage infection, suggesting that it encodes the phage receptor. "
01/01/2022 - "In addition, the phage receptors for L5 were also identified as type IV pili, because the mutation of pilZ, which is involved in pili synthesis, resists phage infection, while the complementation of pilZ restored its phage sensitivity. "
01/01/2021 - "jejuni can resist infections by some phages through stochastic, phase-variable ON/OFF switching of the phage receptors mediated by simple sequence repeats (SSR). "
01/01/2021 - "Furthermore, our findings indicate that ETEC becomes resistant against the adsorption and infection of phage JS09 by mutating the rapZ gene, increasing the expression of glmS, and changing the phage receptor-LPS profile. "

02/25/2021 - "aeruginosa recovered from mouse wounds post-treatment showed decreased virulence in a wax worm model, and DNA sequencing indicated that the combination treatment prevented mutations in genes encoding known phage receptors. "

01/01/2021 - " literature, there are many review articles on nanotechnology and bacteriophages but these are primarily focussed on highlighting the use of lytic and temperate phages in different fields of nano-medicine such as nanoprobes, nanosensors, cancer diagnostics, cancer cell targeting, drug delivery through phage receptors, phage display etc. Reviews specifically focused on the use of nanotechnology driven techniques strictly to improve phage therapy are however limited. "

01/01/1989 - "Major roles suggested for extracellular polysaccharides are as antigens, 'phage receptor sites or for protecting cells against dehydration. "

05/27/1999 - "A bacteriophage encoding a pathogenicity island, a type-IV pilus and a phage receptor in cholera bacteria."
