The invention relates to methods, uses, systems, arrays, engineered nucleotide sequences and vectors for inhibiting bacterial population growth or for altering the relative ratio of sub-populations of first and second bacteria in a mixed population of bacteria. The invention is particularly useful, for example, for treatment of microbes such as for environmental, medical, food and beverage use. The invention relates inter alia to methods of controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) or biofouling of a substrate or fluid in an industrial or domestic system.

The present disclosure relates generally to bacterial delivery vehicles for use in efficient transfer of a desired payload into a target bacterial cell. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to bacterial delivery vehicles with desired host ranges based on the presence of a chimeric receptor binding protein (RBP) composed of a fusion between the N-terminal region of a RBP derived from a lambda-like bacteriophage and the C-terminal region of a different RBP, and/or the presence of an engineered branched receptor binding multi-subunit polypeptides (“branched-RBP”).

The subject invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) at least one bacteriophage strain(s) capable of producing a lytic infection in an adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The subject invention further provides a method of treating inflammatory bowel disease comprising administering to a subject in need thereof at least one bacteriophage strain capable of producing a lytic infection in an adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain thereby treating the subject. The subject invention also provides new bacteriophage strains.

The present invention relates to a bacteriophage composition comprising one or more (suitably two or more, or three) bacteriophages that target oncogenic (tumorigenic) bacteria, and use of the same for treating or preventing cancer.

The present invention relates to the treatment of bacterial infections and the reduction of inflammatory response using bacteriophage compositions. In an aspect, provided herein are methods of treating a bacterial infection characterized by inflammation in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a bacteriophage composition that is essentially free of impurities, wherein the composition reduces inflammation

An antibacterial formulation having a mixture of bacteriophages with lytic activity against strains of Salmonella spp. and a pharmaceutically and veterinarily acceptable vehicle, pH stabilizer and/or excipients. This formulation is for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases caused by Salmonella spp. and different serovars; use and method for preventing or treating infectious diseases caused by Salmonella spp. in farm animals by administering the antibacterial formulation to a non-human animal orally.

The present invention relates to the treatment of bacterial infections and the reduction of inflammatory response using bacteriophage compositions. In an aspect, provided herein are methods of treating a bacterial infection characterized by inflammation in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a bacteriophage composition that is essentially free of impurities, wherein the composition reduces inflammation.

Disclosed herein are bacteriophage compositions and therapeutic uses thereof. The disclosure also relates to bacteriophage that are capable of lysing Klebsiella bacterial strains, e.g., strains that are associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and thereby capable of modulating disease.

A modified bacteriophage capable of infecting a plurality of different target bacteria, which bacteriophage includes a toxin gene encoding a toxin protein which is toxic to the target bacteria; wherein the bacteriophage is lytic; and wherein the bacteriophage expresses host range determinant proteins which have a plurality of bacterial host specificities.
