Investigation of Phages Infecting Strains B and C, and in Sewage and Ebrié Lagoon, Côte d'Ivoire.

Bacteriophages are a promising biotechnological against bacterial pathogens. Currently, phage research is garnering interest in sub-Saharan countries as bacterial resistance to antibiotics becomes widespread. They are sought in all environments as they offer the possibility of a sustainable alternative to antibiotics.

Geographic distribution of anti-Leptospira antibodies in humans in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease with a worldwide importance, mostly frequent in tropical and subtropical countries. In Côte d'Ivoire, little is known about leptospirosis and human data are sparse. This disease is usually misdiagnosed with other febrile illnesses, and determining high-risk areas could allow better management of this disease, leading to policies.

Complete Genome Sequence of Ebrios, a Novel T7virus Isolated from the Ebrie Lagoon in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The lytic phage Ebrios was isolated from a water sample collected in Ebrie Lagoon on the Adiopodoumé River in Abidjan (Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa). The linear genome of this family member contains 39,752 bp, has a G+C content of 52.9%, is composed of 53 open reading frames, and is related to the phage IME15.
