A Novel Species of Myoviridae Bacteriophages Targets Carbapenem Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii via a Non-capsular Receptor
2024-03-04
Abstract excerpt
Increasing antimicrobial resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii has resulted in limited to no treatment options. Bacteriophage therapy promises to assist in filling this treatment void. Six related phages (AB1I1L, AB1I1M, AB1I1P, AB1I1T, AB2I2, AB2I3) that target A. baumannii were isolated from wastewater and possessed an icosahedral structure and contractile tail consistent with myoviridae. Purified phage of high...
