1. Bacterial viruses targeting multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli
Abstract : The global increase in antibiotic resistance levels in bacteria is a growing concern to our society and highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses (phages) are the natural predators of bacteria and are as diverse as their hosts, but our understanding of them is limited. READ MORE

2. Study of phages for phage therapy : An Escherichia coli experience
Abstract : The world is rapidly moving toward a post-antibiotic era as effective antibiotics are becoming fewer. phage therapy is a potentially possible method for treating infectious diseases and counts as an alternative method for antibiotic therapy. READ MORE

3. Bifunctional ADAPTs: Opportunity for serological Half-life extension and Targeted therapy
Abstract : Small engineered scaffold proteins (ESPs) gain more and more popularity as biological drugs, due to their specificity and applicability in diagnostics and therapy. Thanks to their high stability, low immunogenicity and low production cost, they present themselves as a promising alternative to the market-leading antibodies. READ MORE

4. Site-specific recombination of P2-like phages; possible tools for safe gene therapy : A focus on phage ΦD145
Abstract : P2-like bacteriophages integrate their genome into the E. coli host cell by a site-specific recombination event upon lysogenization. The integrative recombination occurs between a specific sequence in the phage genome, attP, and a specific sequence in the host genome, attB, generating the host-phage junctions attL and attR.

5. Infection kinetics, phylogenetics, and host interactions of bacteriophages
Abstract : Bacteriophages, or as they are most commonly referred to as phages, are viruses which are capable of infecting bacteria. They are environmentally plenty, found everywhere from the ground we walk on to contributing to our microbiome. They are highly diverse, coming in various sizes, shapes, and genomic compositions.
