Sentences with phrase «developing phages»

Timed with the hundredth anniversary of their discovery, a new review published in the British Journal of Pharmacology examines the challenges and opportunities of developing phages as health - promoting, commercially - viable biopharmaceuticals.

Their goal is to develop a phage cocktail that works reliably when fed to livestock.

Not exact matches

It's developing a machine - learning algorithm that uses data from the genomes of both phages and bacteria.

And thats one reason that we use a cocktail of different ones, she says — because its unlikely the bugs will quickly develop resistance to more than one phage.

Ganz said that she hoped the publication of the phage's sequence information would enable other researchers to investigate further and potentially develop applications for the phage and its proteins.

Scientists at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Catalan Institute for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) have developed a nanoencapsulation system with a liposome coating in order to increase the efficacy of bacteriophages in oral phage therapy.

To overcome these limitations, researchers developed a nanoencapsulation system using liposome capsules and applied them to the three aforementioned virulent bacteriophages in order to compare the effects of liposome - encapsulated phages and nonencapsulated phages on the concentration of Salmonella in model broiler chickens experimentally contaminated with the bacteria.

The methodology developed allows encapsulating bacteriophages of different sizes and morphologies, demonstrates the advantages of using encapsulated bacteriophages for oral phage therapy and, moreover, the nanometric size allows adding it to potable water and fodder.

The technology developed could be applied to bacteriophages with different morphologies to be used in phage therapy, in both animals and humans.

And even if there were any, for example due to a bacterium changing its surface structures to prevent the virus from attaching, the new technology makes it possible to develop a suitable phage against which a bacterium has not yet developed resistance.

Young and his research team at the Center for Phage Technology, jointly sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Texas A&M University, have not only developed better understanding of phage, but also bacteria in genPhage Technology, jointly sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Texas A&M University, have not only developed better understanding of phage, but also bacteria in genphage, but also bacteria in general.
