Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a novel phage cocktail as a biocontrol of in biofilm, food products, and broiler chicken.

is a foodborne pathogen of animal and public health significance. Considering the disadvantages of antibiotics or chemical preservatives traditionally used to eliminate this pathogen, attention has shifted, in recent years, toward biocontrol agents such as bacteriophages, used either separately or in combination to prevent food contamination. However, extensive use of phage-based biocontrol agents in the food industry requires further studies to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Characterization and genome analysis of a broad host range lytic phage vB_SenS_TUMS_E19 against and its efficiency evaluation in the liquid egg.

serovars are zoonotic bacterial that cause foodborne enteritis. Due to bacteria's antibiotic resistance, using bacteriophages for biocontrol and treatment is a new therapeutic approach. In this study, we isolated, characterized, and analyzed the genome of vB_SenS_TUMS_E19 (E19), a broad host range bacteriophage, and evaluated the influence of E19 on liquid eggs infected with serovar Enteritidis.

Isolation, characterization, and genome analysis of a broad host range Salmonella phage vB_SenS_TUMS_E4: a candidate bacteriophage for biocontrol.

Salmonella enteritidis is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that cause numerous outbreaks worldwide. Some strains of Salmonella have become progressively resistant to antibiotics, so they could represent a critical threat to public health and have led to the use of alternative therapeutic approaches like phage therapy. In this study, a lytic phage, vB_SenS_TUMS_E4 (E4), was isolated from poultry effluent and characterized to evaluate its potential and efficacy for bio-controlling S.

Isolation, characterization, and genomic analysis of vB_PaeP_TUMS_P121, a new lytic bacteriophage infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause life-threatening nosocomial infections. The alarming increase in antibiotic resistance has led to an urgent need for alternative therapeutic approaches, such as phage therapy, which has shown promising results in many studies. In this study, P121, a new lytic Pseudomonas phage, was isolated and characterized.

Isolation, characterization, and genomic analysis of vB_PaeS_TUMS_P81, a lytic bacteriophage against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that can lead to nosocomial infections which are in turn life threatening. The increase in antibiotic resistance, at an alarming rate, has resulted in a pressing need for alternative therapeutic approaches such as phage therapy, which hold promise according to several studies. This study featured the isolation and characterization of vB_PaeS_TUMS_P81, a new lytic Pseudomonas phage.

Polymerized graphene oxide/MnCeFeO nanoferrofluid as a T- and T*-weighted contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging.

In this study synthesis of graphene oxide-poly citric acid/MnCeFeO nanoferrofluid with a simple method and its ability for enhancing the contrast of magnetic resonance images was reported. The co-precipitation method has been used for the production of MnCeFeO nanoparticles with a size distribution of 25-40 nm, which has shown a very good superparamagnetic property with saturation magnetization (M) 53.6 emu g.
