Characterization of vB_SaRS_FS19-1, a newly isolated broad-host-range and virulent bacteriophage infecting Staphylococcus aureus and its application in foods.

The bacteriophage vB_SaRS_FS19-1, isolated from urban sewage, produced numerous clear plaques, about 1 to 2 mm in diameter, on the S. aureus JP19 bacterial lawn. A broad host range of the bacteriophage vB_SaRS_FS19-1 was found, and the lysis rate of S.

Characterization of phage vB_EcoP_HC25 and its therapeutic effect on chicken colibacillosis.

Bacteriophage therapy has proved to be an attractive candidate for decreasing drug-resistant bacteria. In this study, a novel E. coli phage vB_EcoP_HC25 was isolated from sewage.

Epidemiology and genotypic diversity of duck hepatitis B virus identified from waterfowl in partial areas of Guangdong province, Southern China.

Duck Hepatitis B virus (DHBV) infection model is extensively utilized as an animal model for studying human hepatitis B virus infection and for comparative research. 557 liver samples from geese and ducks were collected in parts of Guangdong province, southern China.
