Summary: A novel bacteriophage BPVP-3325 with high lytic activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated and characterized. It showed excellent efficacy in a wide range of pH and temperature conditions and effectively inhibited the growth of the pathogenic strain. The potential of BPVP-3325 therapy for oyster culture and food industry in controlling V. parahaemolyticus disease was demonstrated.

Summary: In this study, a new Vibrio phage vB_ValM_PVA8 (PVA8) was isolated from sewage water and found to efficiently infect pathogenic Vibrio species. The phage belonged to the Straboviridae family and had a 246,348-bp double-stranded DNA genome with 388 putative open reading frames (ORFs). It exhibited stable characteristics over a broad pH range and a wide temperature span, and showed strong multiplication capacity against V. alginolyticus. The results indicate that PVA8 has the potential to be a promising biological agent for Vibrio control in aquaculture farming industry.

Summary: Two phages, PVHp5 and PVHp8, were isolated from the marine environment and shown to effectively inhibit the growth of Vibrio harveyi. Feeding phages to turbot may be a practical way to protect the fish from V. harveyi infection, and phage cocktails could be a promising therapeutic agent for turbot aquaculture.

Summary: In this study, three novel antibacterial peptides were designed and synthesized, among which (3)K(5)K(7)G showed good antibacterial activity against drug-resistant Vibrio strains and could effectively kill Vibrio alginolyticus cells in instant jellyfish. Moreover, (3)K(5)K(7)G exhibited low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells.

Summary: Bacterial infections have a negative impact on both animal husbandry industry and medicine, and the increasing bacterial drug resistance worsens this impact. Phages present a promising alternative to combating drug-resistant bacteria, and the newly isolated phage vB_ValP_IME234 shows potential as a biocontrol agent against Vibrio alginolyticus strains.

Summary: In this study, a filamentous phage called Vaf1 was isolated and characterized from the marine pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus AP-1. The presence of phage Vaf1 was found to significantly increase biofilm formation, swarming motility, and contact-dependent competition. Additionally, the Vaf1 phage was found to contribute to the virulence of V. alginolyticus in zebrafish.

Summary: Bacteriophages play a crucial role in the evolution and dynamics of bacterial populations, and bacteria can protect themselves from phage infection by modifying the availability of cellular resources. This study reveals the importance of a weak acid tolerance system in protecting bacteria from phage predation.

Summary: In this study, a bacteriophage, vibrio phage R01, was characterized and found to have lytic activity against V. parahaemolyticus VP-ABTNL, a strain known to cause skin ulceration in the juvenile sea cucumber. The stability determination assay showed that the lytic activity of phage R01 was optimal at 4-28 degrees C and a pH of 7.0.

Summary: Infections of gastroenteritis in humans are mainly caused by consumption of shellfish contaminated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, leading to health and economic losses. Investigation on the virulence factor production, antibiotic resistance profile, and biofilm-forming capacity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates showed high resistance to antibiotics and virulence factors in isolates from shellfish in Korea. Monitoring of these factors may help in decreasing V. parahaemolyticus infections and ensuring seafood safety.

Summary: This study investigated the factors influencing the wide range of concentrations of human-pathogenic Vibrio bacteria in oysters. The results suggest that oyster genetics and parasitism may affect the presence of Vibrio bacteria. The study highlights the importance of further investigating the influence of oyster genetic background and the multiple interacting factors driving the dynamics of human-pathogenic Vibrio bacteria in oysters.
