ANTIBACTERIAL PHAGE, THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITION, BACTERICIDAL AGENT, FOOD, BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION KIT, THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITION MANUFACTURING METHOD, BACTERIA ELIMINATION METHOD, BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION METHOD, AND ANIMAL THERAPEUTIC METHOD
Provided are antibacterial phages that selectively kill bacteria having a resistance gene or the like. Antibacterial phage for this includes CRISPR-Cas13a with a target sequence that recognizes a specific gene as a target. This target sequence is designed as a spacer sequence for crRNA of 14-28 bases. Specific genes are drug resistance genes and toxins. The drug resistance genes are included in bacterial genomes and/or plasmids having one or any combination of the group including: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, penicillin-resistant pneumococcus, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant cephalosporins, third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, third-generation cephalosporin-resistant E. coli, and fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli.
Modular phage vector platform for sonodynamic therapy
The present invention relates to a phage or a composition that comprises it, wherein said phage expresses at least one specific recognition element and is furthermore conjugated with at least 300 molecules of a sonosensitiser. The invention further relates to the use of said phage in a sonodynamic therapy.
