Characterisation of bacteriophage JD419, a Staphylococcal phage with an unusual morphology and broad host range
2020-11-09
Abstract excerpt
As an antimicrobial therapy, therapeutic phages, also known as “Phage therapy” are able to inactivate multi-drug resistant bacteria such as methicillin and vancomycin resistant S. aureus and thus present a possible treatment for infections that are otherwise incurable. In this paper, we present a novel phage called JD419, which has a remarkably wide host-range. The virulent phage JD419 exhibits an elongated capsi...
