Characterization and lytic activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens phages from sewage

Abstract: Pseudomonas fluorescens phages from sewage were tested against P. fluorescens isolates of soil and sewage. The phages were characterized as to host range, morphology, structural proteins and genome fingerprint. Of the seven phages isolated, one was found to be abundant in sewage (5.9×10 7 pfu/mL), having broad host range, and distinct protein and DNA profile when compared to the other six phages. DNA restriction and protein profiles of the phages and their morphology indicate the diversity in the sewage enviro… Show more

“…Similarly, Nocardiophages were recently isolated from wastewater for control of Nocardia species that pose a foaming problem in activated sludge process (ASP), worldwide 28 . Likewise, other reports have also shown phage application in pathogen reduction 17,39,[44][45][46] . Phage application as therapeutic agent to combat bacterial infection needs to be further explored along with in vivo models and clinical trials.…”

“…The authors of another study (Radhakrishnan and Ananthasubramanian 2012 ) conducted on phages specific for Pseudomonas fluorescens , suggest that the molecular weights of the major proteins do not vary among phage lysates specific to the same bacterial strains.…”
