Collateral sensitivity increases the efficacy of a rationally designed bacteriophage combination to control Salmonella enterica

Luke Acton, Hannah V. Pye, Gaëtan Thilliez, Rafał Kolenda et autres

ABSTRACT The ability of virulent bacteriophages to lyse bacteria influences bacterial evolution, fitness, and population structure. Knowledge of both host susceptibility and resistance factors is crucial for the successful application of bacteriophages as biological control agents in clinical therapy, food processing, and …

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 vaccinated healthcare workers in Lebanon

Habib Alkalamouni, Farouk F. Abou Hassan, Mirna Bou Hamdan, Andrew J. Page et autres

BACKGROUND: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants including the Delta and Omicron along with waning of vaccine-induced immunity over time contributed to increased rates of breakthrough infection specifically among healthcare workers (HCWs). SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance is an important tool for timely detection and …
