Lytic phages have been considered as a solution to mitigate the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Nevertheless, finding phages capable of targeting a broad host-range remains a significant challenge.
Our study introduces two lytic phages isolated from hospital effluent, which are active against extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant .
Overnight coculture with host, two purified phage lysates yielded around 3.0 × 10 PFU/mL with an average 0.8 ± 0.2 mm diameter of clear, round, and non-halo plaques in both instances. The genomes of iPHaGe-KPN-11i (177,603 bp, 273 coding sequences [CDS]) and iPHaGe-KPN-12i (178,179 bp, 275 CDS) belong to the genus. Both phages have at least 120 genes with known functions, including 1 endolysin and 2 tRNAs, and are capable of lysing at least 12 distinct bacterial species .
Most phages are host-specific, whereas our phages can kill multiple bacterial species, enabling their potential use for a broad range of hosts.
裂解性噬菌体被认为是缓解多重耐药菌出现的一种解决方案。然而,找到能够靶向广泛宿主范围的噬菌体仍然是一项重大挑战。
我们的研究介绍了从医院污水中分离出的两种裂解性噬菌体,它们对耐超广谱头孢菌素的细菌具有活性。
与宿主进行过夜共培养后,两种纯化的噬菌体裂解液均产生了约3.0×10 PFU/mL的效价,在两种情况下,平均形成直径为0.8±0.2毫米的清晰、圆形且无晕圈的噬菌斑。iPHaGe-KPN-11i(177,603 bp,273个编码序列[CDS])和iPHaGe-KPN-12i(178,179 bp,275个CDS)的基因组属于该属。两种噬菌体都至少有120个具有已知功能的基因,包括1种溶菌酶和2个tRNA,并且能够裂解至少12种不同的细菌物种。
大多数噬菌体具有宿主特异性,而我们的噬菌体可以杀死多种细菌物种,使其有可能用于广泛的宿主。
