Small things matter : of phages and antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids
Mattila, Sari (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Viruses and plasmids are small units of genetic material dependent on cells either transiently or continuously. Intriguingly, stories of these small entities intertwine in antibiotic resistance crisis. Horizontal gene ... -
Targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria with phage reduces bacterial density in an insect host
Mikonranta, Lauri; Buckling, Angus; Jalasvuori, Matti; Raymond, Ben (Royal Society Publishing, 2019)Phage therapy is attracting growing interest among clinicians as antibiotic resistance continues becoming harder to control. However, clinical trials and animal model studies on bacteriophage treatment are still scarce and ... -

Potential of phage therapy against uropathogenic antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli biofilms
Telimaa, Heta (2023)Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in the world. The majority of UTIs are caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) which tend to live in surface-attached microbe communities, known ... -
Effects of Combined Use of Bacteriophages and Antibiotics to Eliminate Escherichia coli in Bacterial Biofilm
Valkonen, Sofia (2022)Antibiootit ovat yksi modernin historian menestyksekkäimmistä lääketieteellisistä löydöistä, ja niillä on ollut tärkeä rooli patogeenisten bakteerien aiheuttamien infektioiden torjunnassa. Vuosikymmeniä kestänyt antibioottien ...
