Learning from Bacteriophages - Advantages and Limitations of Phage and Phage-Encoded Protein Applications

TL;DR: A review of the major characteristics of bacteriophages and phage-encoded proteins affecting their usefulness as antimicrobial agents and several issues such as mode of action, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, resistance and manufacturing aspects are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process.

TL;DR: The existing diversity in structural locations, variable architectures, enzymatic specificities, and evolutionary aspects of polysaccharide depolymerases and virion-associated lysins (VALs) are discussed and illustrated how these aspects can correlate with the host spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriophages and phage-derived proteins--application approaches.

TL;DR: In this review, several issues of phage and phage-derived protein application approaches in therapy, diagnostics and biotechnology in general are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of bacteriophages versus phage enzymes to combat and cure bacterial infections: an ambitious and also a realistic application?

TL;DR: This review discusses advantages and limitations of both agents concerning their specificity, mode of action, structural issues, resistance development, pharmacokinetics, product preparation, and interactions with the immune system and describes the current regulations for phage-based product application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capsule-Targeting Depolymerase, Derived from Klebsiella KP36 Phage, as a Tool for the Development of Anti-Virulent Strategy.

TL;DR: It is found that depoKP36 was also effective against a native capsule of clinical K. pneumoniae strains, representing the K63 type, and significantly inhibited Klebsiella-induced mortality of Galleria mellonella larvae in a time-dependent manner.
