Comparison of Delivery Methods in Phage Therapy against Flavobacterium columnare Infections in Rainbow Trout
Kunttu, Heidi M. T.; Runtuvuori-Salmela, Anniina; Middelboe, Mathias; Clark, Jason; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (MDPI AG, 2021)Viruses of bacteria, bacteriophages, specifically infect their bacterial hosts with minimal effects on the surrounding microbiota. They have the potential to be used in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, ... -
Outside-host phage therapy as a biological control against environmental infectious diseases
Merikanto, Ilona; Laakso, Jouni; Kaitala, Veijo (BioMed Central, 2018)Background Environmentally growing pathogens present an increasing threat for human health, wildlife and food production. Treating the hosts with antibiotics or parasitic bacteriophages fail to eliminate diseases that ... -
The influence of infective dose, nutrient availability and coinfection on virulence of Flavobacterium columnare : implications of intensive aquaculture on opportunistic infections
Kinnula, Hanna (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Ecological factors are known to affect disease dynamics and even lead to disease emergence. Especially in opportunistic, environmentally transmitted pathogens, the environment may significantly contribute to pathogen ... -
The influence of competition on the formation of phage resistance in Flavobacterium columnare
Rantanen, Noora (2021)Luonnossa bakteerit elävät monimutkaisissa eliöyhteisöissä, joissa ne vuorovaikuttavat paitsi keskenään, myös bakteereja infektoivien virusten, (bakterio)faagien kanssa. Bakteerien ja faagien välisen koevoluution aikana ... -
Bacteriophage Adherence to Mucus Mediates Preventive Protection against Pathogenic Bacteria
Almeida, Gabriel M. F.; Laanto, Elina; Ashrafi, Roghaleh; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (American Society for Microbiology, 2019)Metazoans were proposed to host bacteriophages on their mucosal surfaces in a symbiotic relationship, where phages provide an external immunity against bacterial infections and the metazoans provide phages a medium for ...
