The Polyvalent Staphylococcal Phage φ812:Its Host-Range Mutants and Related Phages

Abstract: Ninety-five percent of 782 culture collection strains, as well as hospital strains of Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus of different provenance and 43% of 89 culture collection strains of different coagulase-negative species of the genus Staphylococcus, were found to be sensitive to the polyvalent phage phi 812 or to at least one of its host-range mutants or to the polyvalent phages SK311, phi 131, and U16. Thus sensitivity to the polyvalent staphylococcal phages seems to be one of the common features of S. … Show more

“…This bacteriophage has activity against a range of both coagulase-negative and coagulase-positive staphylococci (37) and uses N-acetylglucosamine in cell wall teichoic acid for phage adsorption (10). Phage K is also identical to the phage named Au2 examined by Burnet and Lush (7), and restriction analysis in our laboratory revealed that it is indistinguishable from the polyvalent phage 812 (31).…”

“…Bacteriophage phi812 from the genus Twort-like virus, subfamily Spounavirinae, can infect at least 95% of Staphylococcus aureus strains, including those strains resistant to antibiotics (2). Thus, phi812 has the potential to be used as antibacterial phage-therapy agent (3,4).…”
