In July 2007, the same bacteriophage were approved for use on all food products. [38] In 2011 USDA confirmed that LISTEX is a clean label processing aid and is included in USDA. [39] Research in the field of food safety is continuing to see if lytic phages are a viable option to control other food-borne pathogens in various food products. [40]
Fermentation Suite. In 2006, Intralytix was the first company in the world to receive FDA/USDA approval for a bacteriophage-based food safety product, ListShield. [1]That same year, Intralytix was also the first company in the world to successfully assemble a Master Drug File (MDF) application with the FDA, and to manufacture and supply its phage product for the first-ever in the US human ...
Phage therapy has many potential applications in human medicine as well as dentistry, veterinary science, and agriculture. [20] If the target host of a phage therapy treatment is not an animal, the term " biocontrol " (as in phage-mediated biocontrol of bacteria) is usually employed, rather than "phage therapy".
Phageome research in humans has largely focused on the gut, however it is also being investigated in other areas like the skin, [8] blood, [9] and mouth. [10] The composition of phages that make up a healthy human gut phageome is currently debated, since different methods of research can lead to different results. [ 11 ]
Bacteriophage derived proteins are used for detection and removal of bacteria [2] [3] and bacterial components (especially endotoxin contaminations) in pharmaceutical and biological products, human diagnostics, food, [4] [5] and decolonization of bacteria causing nosocomial infections (e.g. MRSA).
CrAss-like phage (crassviruses) are a bacteriophage family representing the most abundant viruses in the human gut, discovered in 2014 by cross assembling reads in human fecal metagenomes. [1] In silico comparative genomics and taxonomic analysis have found that crAss-like phages represent a highly abundant and diverse family of viruses.
Chemicals leaching from food packaging found in humans, new study shows. Experts call for more safety regulations. Kaitlin Reilly. September 16, 2024 at 8:00 PM.
Research with bacteriophages parasitizing Gordonia and other genera can be used to develop bacteriophage therapies for drug-resistant human, animal, and plant bacterial infections; contamination prevention in food processing facilities; targeted gene delivery; and more. [14]
