The Analysis of OmpA and Rz/Rz1 of Lytic Bacteriophage from Surabaya, Indonesia.

A good strategy to conquer the -cause food-borne disease could be bacteriophages. Porins are a type of -barrel proteins with diffuse channels and OmpA, which has a role in hydrophilic transport, is the most frequent porin in ; it was also chosen as the potential receptor of the phage. And the Rz/Rz1 was engaged in the breakup of the host bacterial external membrane.

Isolation and Identification of O157:H7 Lytic Bacteriophage from Environment Sewage.

O157:H7 is one of the pathogenic bacteria causing foodborne disease. The use of lytic bacteriophages can be a good solution to overcome the disease. This study is aimed at isolating lytic bacteriophages from environmental sewage with O157:H7 bacterial cells.
