Article Abstract
A novel lytic siphophage, PLG-II, which is specific for Lactococcus garvieae serotype II strains that are pathogenic to fish, was isolated from seawater samples collected from Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Whole-genome sequencing showed that the PLG-II genome is a 32,271-bp double-stranded DNA molecule, with an average GC content of 37.74%. It contains 69 open reading frames (ORFs), 43 of which currently have no reliable functional annotation for their product, as well as a single tRNA. Comparative genomics analysis suggests that phage PLG-II might represent a novel species in the genus Uwajimavirus.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) poses a significant threat to global public health, necessitating alternative therapeutic strategies. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel lytic bacteriophage (phage), vB_EcoM_51, from poultry farm sewage and evaluated its potential against MDR . Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the phage exhibits morphological features typical of the family, including a polyhedral head (∼66.

Pyroptosis is a lytic and pro-inflammatory regulated cell death pathway mediated by pores formed by the oligomerization of gasdermin proteins on cellular membranes. Different pro-inflammatory molecules such as interleukin-18 are released from these pores, promoting inflammation. Pyroptotic cell death has been implicated in many pathological conditions, including cancer and liver diseases.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has recently become a serious cause for global concern because of non-susceptibility to multiple antimicrobial classes, its prevalence in nosocomial infections, and the lack of effective treatments against such a pathogen.
Methods: This study isolated two lytic phages from hospital sewage, purified, propagated, characterized morphologically by transmission electron microscopy, and genomically by Oxford Nanopore Sequencing. The phage lysates were then formulated individually as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 5 % w/v hydrogels.

Multidrug-resistant avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (MDR-APEC) causes high mortality in newborn chickens, leading to significant economic losses for poultry industry worldwide. The present study proposes an effective alternative strategy to control APEC infections by using bacteriophage specific to MDR-APEC. Lytic phage CABI-SEA 2301 isolated from a chicken faecal sample collected at a commercial poultry farm using the double layer agar overlay technique was classified as a novel species in the genus Seuratvirus, subfamily Queuovirinae.
