Phage therapy has gained recent attention in the United States as an alternative to standard antibiotic therapy. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It has been in practice for just over 100 years in countries such as Russia and Georgia , but due to the recent clinical attention of antibiotic resistance , Western countries have slowly been integrating phage ...
Phage therapy, viral phage therapy, or phagotherapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophages for the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections. [1] [2] [3] This therapeutic approach emerged at the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the Second World War.
The enterobacteria phage T4, a highly studied phage, targets E. coli for infection. [citation needed] While phage therapy as a treatment for E. coli is unavailable in the US, some commercially available dietary supplements contain strains of phage that target E. coli and have been shown to reduce E. coli load in healthy subjects.

Structure of phage ΦX174 capsid Schematic drawing of a Sinsheimervirus (aka Phix174microvirus) virion. The phi X 174 (or ΦX174) bacteriophage is a single-stranded DNA virus that infects Escherichia coli.
In order for the T-even phage to infect its host and begin its life cycle it must enter the first process of infection, adsorption of the phage to the bacterial cell. Adsorption is a value characteristic of phage-host pair and the adsorption of the phage on host cell surface is illustrated as a 2-stage process: reversible and irreversible.
The E. coli cell also has its own chromosome, which possesses a gene that is expressed to produce T7 RNA polymerase. (This polymerase originates from the T7 phage , a bacteriophage virus which infects E. coli bacterial cells and is capable of integrating its DNA into the host DNA, as well as overriding its cellular machinery to produce more ...
A young leukemia patient recently received a special visit from two therapy dogs, and the sweet encounter was shared in an Instagram reel that has gone viral with nearly 10 million views. In ...
Deoxyribonuclease IV (phage-T4-induced) (EC 3.1.21.2, endodeoxyribonuclease IV (phage T4-induced), E. coli endonuclease IV, endodeoxyribonuclease, redoxyendonuclease, deoxriboendonuclease, Escherichia coli endonuclease II, endonuclease II, DNA-adenine-transferase) is catalyzes the degradation nucleotides [1] in DsDNA by attacking the 5'-terminal end.
