Background: Bacteriophages have been proposed as an alternative to control pathogenic bacteria resistant to antibiotics. However, they are not extensively used due to different factors such as vulnerability under environmental ...

In order to evaluate whether coliphages can be used in combination with food additives, six lytic phages against pathogenic Escherichia coli strains were tested for their resistance to additives commonly used in the dairy ...

Aims: The aim of this work was to study the adsorption step of two new temperate bacteriophages (Cb1/204 and Cb1/342) of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and to isolate phage-resistant derivatives with interesting technological ...

In the present work, six bacteriophages (DT1 to DT6) with lytic activity against one enteropathogenic (EPEC) and two Shiga-toxigenic (STEC) Escherichia coli strains were tested for their resistance to physicochemical ...

Phages are potentially useful as antimicrobial agents in food-processing environments, provided they can remain active upon extended storage and in the presence of sanitisers. Survival of six phages lytic against ...

To study the effect of high-pressure homogenization on virus inactivation, phages specific for Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus helveticus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus paracasei ...

Background/Aims: Adsorption and kinetic parameters, latent period, burst size and burst time, are characteristics of phage/host systems and can be affected by several environmental factors. As only few studies have focused ...

Aims: The survival of two collection Lactobacillus casei and L. paracasei bacteriophages when subjected to thermal and chemical treatments was investigated. Methods and Results: Thermal resistance was evaluated by heating ...

Se aislaron y caracterizaron tres fagos autóctonos específicos de las cepas de Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus YSD V (fago BYM), Ab1 (fago YAB) e Ib3 (fago Ib3). Las micrografías electrónicas demostraron que los tres ...
