Genetic characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage KPP10

Abstract: Bacteriophage (phage) KPP10 has been used in experimental phage therapies directed against P. aeruginosa infections. To examine the eligibility of phage KPP10 as a therapeutic phage, its genome was analyzed. The genomic DNA was shown to be 88,322 bp long, with 158 open reading frames (ORFs), and three tRNA genes were predicted. No ORF-encoded pathogenicity or lysogenization factor was predicted. A comparative genomic analysis revealed that phage KPP10, together with phage PAK_P3, can be grouped as a new type o… Show more

“…A virulent Pseudomonas phage belonging to the family Siphoviridae is proposed as a therapeutic phage (5). Phage KPP23 was isolated from a water sample collected from Urado Bay, Kochi City, Kochi, Japan, using P. aeruginosa strain PA101 as the host strain (6). According to the morphological analysis by transmission electron microscopy, phage KPP23 has an icosahedral head and a flexible tail (mean ± standard deviation, 67.3 ± 4.5 nm in diameter and 141.4 ± 11.8 nm in length, respectively; n = 20), and was classified under the family Siphoviridae .…”

“…Genomic DNA was extracted from the phage particles essentially as described elsewhere (43,44). Moreover, H. pylori strain NY43, which releases phage KHP30, was cultured in BEV medium and then pelleted.…”

“…Phage proteins were prepared from the phage purified by CsCl density gradient ultracentrifugation for SDS-PAGE, as described previously (44). The phage proteins were separated electrophoretically on a 12.5% SDS-polyacrylamide gel with an (unstained) XLLadder Broad marker (APRO Life Science Institute, Tokushima, Japan), basically followed by the protocol described elsewhere (49).…”

“…The lytic activity (i.e., lysis from within, lysis from without, or no lysis) of phage KPP22 against clinically isolated P. aeruginosa strains that included various serotypes was compared with that of phage KPP12 (16,21,31). Phage KPP22 showed lysis from within on 92.1% (35 of 38) of the tested clinically isolated strains, while phage KPP12 showed lysis from within and lysis from without on 68.4% (26 of 38) of the tested clinically isolated strains (Table 1).…”

“…The P. aeruginosa strains used in this study, which had been isolated from the patients in Kochi, Japan, and have been described previously, are listed in Table 1 (14,21). Phage KPP22 was isolated using strain PA33 as the host by a method described elsewhere (22).…”
