Phage Therapy as an Alternative Treatment Modality for Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections

Salman Sahab Atshan, Rukman Awang Hamat, Musheer A. Aljaberi, Jung-Sheng Chen, Shih-Wei Huang, Chung-Ying Lin, Benjamin J. Mullins, Anthony Kicic

Summary: The production and use of antibiotics increased significantly after the Second World War, but bacterial resistance has now become a global issue. High-risk individuals, such as burn and wound patients, as well as those with pulmonary infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are in urgent need of antibiotics. However, with the decline in investment for new antibiotics, the search for alternative therapeutic strategies, such as bacteriophage therapy, has become crucial.

Isolation and Characterization of Novel Lytic Phages Infecting Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli

Javiera Vera-Mansilla, Patricio Sanchez, Cecilia A. Silva-Valenzuela, Roberto C. Molina-Quiroz

Summary: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli being the main cause. Antibiotic-resistance in UTIs has led to the exploration of alternative therapies, such as bacteriophages. In this study, three novel bacteriophages were isolated and characterized, showing efficient infection and killing of laboratory and multidrug-resistant clinical E. coli strains. These phages also demonstrated the ability to infect intestinal pathogenic E. coli strains. This research suggests that these phages may serve as a potential alternative treatment for antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains causing UTIs and intestinal infections.

Identification and Characterization of the CRISPR/Cas System in Staphylococcus aureus Strains From Diverse Sources

Erick Adrian Cruz-Lopez, Gildardo Rivera, Maria Antonia Cruz-Hernandez, Ana Veronica Martinez-Vazquez, Graciela Castro-Escarpulli, Rebeca Flores-Magallon, Karina Vazquez, Wendy Lizeth Cruz-Pulido, Virgilio Bocanegra-Garcia

Summary: The CRISPR-Cas system provides defense mechanisms against mobile genetic elements in bacteria and archaea, but its role in Staphylococcus aureus is not fully understood. Analysis of over 700 genomes revealed that only a small percentage of S. aureus strains harbor the CRISPR-Cas system, with some spacer sequences matching plasmids and bacteriophages. Further research on a larger number of strains is needed to fully understand the implications of the CRISPR/Cas system in S. aureus.

Antibiofilm potential of luteolin against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy goats and farm environments

Xiaoqiang Liu, Jingru Zuo, Jiang Teng, Le Yang, Jingjing Guo, Lianjie Liu, Pei Li

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus in raw milk samples and farm environments. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of luteolin against MDR S. aureus were also explored. The results showed that luteolin can inhibit biofilm formation, reduce cell viability, and affect gene expression related to biofilm formation in S. aureus.

Activity of Phage-Lactoferrin Mixture against Multi Drug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms

Katarzyna Kosznik-Kwasnicka, Natalia Kazmierczak, Lidia Piechowicz

Summary: Biofilms are complex structures composed of bacterial cells embedded in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). They are difficult to eradicate and bacteriophages have shown to penetrate the matrix and reach the bacterial cells. However, biofilm regrowth and phage-resistant bacteria are concerns. The combination of staphylococcal phages and lactoferrin, a protein with anti-biofilm properties, accelerates the anti-biofilm effect and prevents biofilm re-growth, showing potential use in medical settings for biofilm eradication procedures.

The Influence of Bacteriophages on the Metabolic Condition of Human Fibroblasts in Light of the Safety of Phage Therapy in Staphylococcal Skin Infections

Summary: Phage therapy has shown success in treating multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and is considered a promising alternative to antibiotics. However, recent reports suggest potential interactions between phages and eukaryotic cells, necessitating further safety evaluation. Our study found that two phages had a negative impact on the viability of human fibroblasts at high concentrations, but had no effect at lower concentrations. Additionally, the addition of phages alleviated the negative effect of MDRSA infection on fibroblasts' viability.

Genomic evaluation of novel Kenyan virulent phage isolates infecting carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and safety determination of their lysates in Balb/c mice

Noutin Fernand Michodigni, Atunga Nyachieo, Juliah Khayeli Akhwale, Gabriel Magoma, Andrew Nyerere Kimang'a

Summary: This study evaluated the genomic features of novel Kenyan virulent phage isolates infecting carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and tested the safety of their lysates using a mice model. The results showed that the Klebsiella phages belonged to the Slopekvirus genus and did not contain antimicrobial resistance and toxin genes. The endotoxin levels in the phage lysates were statistically significant. The study also found that intravenous administration of the phage lysates caused higher serum activities, but without damage to the renal tubules and hepatocytes in the mice.
