Biology, Microbiology|Agriculture, Animal Culture and Nutrition. The recent approval for the use of phages of Listeria monocytogenes for food safety purposes has increased the impetus of phage research to uncover phage-mediated applications with activity against other food pathogens. Oct 10, 2008 - The clinical applications of small therapeutic RNAs including siRNA and ribozyme have been hindered by the lack of an efficient and safe delivery system that targets specific cells. Sep 27, 2013 - Bacteriophage Biology The word bacteriophage comes from the word bacteria and the Greek word phagein, which means "to devour" or "to eat." Bacteriophages are generally made of a shell of protein that contains DNA or RNA encoding a "genome" or . The tools used were quite simple because nature provided the design for this bacteriophage. Apr 4, 2008 - Although exciting, there are many other uses of phage that are just as revolutionary, but tend to slip by. Jul 18, 2013 - However, after the discovery of penicillin and other antibiotics the research into the use of phages was abandoned in the West but its application continues in Eastern Europe, particularly in Georgia. However, compared with France, much less phage research was published out of Russia, as its potential military applications to cure battlefield infections made the Soviets consider phage therapy as a state secret. Jan 6, 2012 - Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications provides unparalleled, comprehensive information on bacteriophages and their applications, such as phage therapy. Coli O157:H7 contamination in both ground beef and spinach. Based on Lu's graduate school research at MIT, the assay uses biological particles called bacteriophages, or phages, which only target bacteria. Feb 21, 2014 - Application of bacteriophages significantly reduced E. May 14, 2014 - I tend to think of viruses as biological “apps” — small software programs. Dec 6, 2010 - Bacteriophages as biocontrol agents Bacteriophages represent one of the most abundant biological entities in nature and have long been recognized for their potential use as therapeutic agents. Oct 17, 2008 - This article will review the history of phage discovery, biology, medical uses, advantages and disadvantages, and the likely future of phage therapy. For their potential as biotherapeutic agents. Bacteria for quick detection, with the ability to detect only a few bacteria. Additionally, the same Subject Area.
