A method, system and computer program for selecting consecutive bacterial cultures for culturing a food product in a process for producing a fermented food product, the method comprising the steps of: culturing the food product with a first bacterial culture comprising at least one bacterial strain; isolating a sample during culturing with the first bacterial culture; determining at least one value indicative for a number of bacteriophages in the sample, e.g. using PCR, plaque assay, or pH; selecting a second bacterial culture for culturing the food product when the value is larger than a predetermined threshold, wherein the second bacterial culture comprises at least one bacterial strain, wherein the second bacterial culture differs from the first bacterial culture, wherein the sensitivities of the first and second bacterial culture for the bacteriophages in the sample are known and wherein the second bacterial culture is selected such as to reduce common bacteriophage sensitivities between the first and the second bacterial culture, and culturing the food product with the second bacterial culture.

The invention is directed to antibacterial compositions comprising bacteria modified to comprise phasmids engineered to deliver of CRISPR RNAs and methods for their use.

Modified bacteriophage, uses thereof, and compositions containing the modified bacteriophage are described. The compositions are useful for human treatment and may treat various conditions, including bacterial infections.

A composition or matrix comprising a bacteriophage and nanofibrillar cellulose or a derivative thereof in a wet or dry state is disclosed.

The present invention is directed to the field of phage therapy for the treatment and control of bacterial infections, in particular respiratory bacterial infections such as bacterial pneumonia. More specifically, the present invention is directed to novel bacteriophage strains, and products and cocktails thereof, including F99/10, F110/10, F27/12, Psa_F83/13, Psa_F95/13, F391/08, Kle_F92/15, Kle_F105/15, Kle_F134/15, Kle_F141/15, as well as variants thereof; and methods of using same in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections, including respiratory infections caused by, e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae. The cocktails are used as pharmaceutical compositions either alone or in further combination with other therapies, e.g., antibiotics or other standard and non-standard therapies for respiratory infections.

Modified bacteriophage, uses thereof, and compositions containing the modified bacteriophage are described. The compositions are useful for human treatment and may treat various conditions, including bacterial infections.

A method for modifying the genome of a lytic target phage, uses of the method and products thereof are described. Compositions comprising such phage are also described. The compositions may be formulated as a medicament, which are useful for human treatment and may treat various conditions, including bacterial infections.

Modified bacteriophage and compositions containing the modified bacteriophage are described. Exemplary compositions are useful for human treatment and may treat various conditions, including bacterial infections.

Modified bacteriophage, uses thereof, and compositions containing the modified bacteriophage are described. The compositions are useful for human treatment and may treat various conditions, including bacterial infections.

A phage and use thereof in soil remediation are disclosed. The phage φYSZPK has been deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on Aug. 1, 2018 under Accession No. CCTCC M 2018516, and its taxonomic designation is Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella phage φYSZPK. Biochar and the screened phage are combined and returned into contaminated soil to synergistically control and deeply track and inactivate transmission and spread of antibiotic resistance pathogenic bacteria and resistance genes in a soil-vegetable system. The combination of the biochar and the phage φYSZPK not only clearly improves the functional stability of microbial community in the soil-vegetable system, but also significantly alleviates the dissemination of the antibiotic resistance pathogenic bacteria in the soil-vegetable system to prevent secondary pollution, thereby providing a new solution for biological remediation and control of farmland soil contaminated by antibiotic resistance pathogenic bacteria in China.
