Spring 2013
Because of their ability to infect bacterial cells, bacteriophages or phages (viruses that infect and kill bacteria) show promise in treating diseases caused by multidrug resistant bacteria like the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). In order to carry out their lifecycle, phages must recognize,...

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in using bacteriophages as an alternate agent for the treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria. One such highly drug-resistant group of bacteria is the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), which causes chronic infections in cystic fibrosis (CF)...

Physiological and genomic characterization of six virulent bacteriophages of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 for biocontrol and detection applications

Despite multiple control strategies in all steps of the food production chain, outbreaks of foodborne pathogens are common worldwide. More effective ways to prevent, eliminate or at least detect their presence before products reach consumers are of great interest to the general public, the food...

Resonant microcantilevers are promising transducers for bacteria detection because of their high sensitivities. Surface stress and mass from adsorbates affect the resonant frequency. We developed a novel method for decoupling the frequency contributions of a change in mass and surface stress on a...

Bacteriophages are considered to be the most abundant and potentially the most diverse form of life on earth. Phage receptor binding proteins (RBPs), which allow phages to specifically target their host bacteria, consequently represent a massive diversity of bacterial targeting proteins. These...
