Background And Objectives: Prevalence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) leads to the development of antibiotic resistance and mortality in burn patients. One of the alternative strategies for controlling ESBL bacterial infections is clinical trials of bacteriophage therapy. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize specific bacteriophages against ESBL-producing in patients with burn ulcers.
Materials And Methods: Clinical samples were isolated from the hospitalized patient in burn medical centers, Iran. Biochemical screenings and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were determined. The phages were isolated from municipal sewerage treatment plants, Isfahan, Iran. TEM and FESEM, adsorption velocity, growth curve, host range, and the viability of the phage particles as well as proteomics and enzyme digestion patterns were examined.
Results: The results showed that Iaufa_lad2 (GenBank accession number: MW836954) was confirmed as an ESBL-producing strain using combined disk method. This bacterium showed significant sensitivity to three phages including PɸBw-Kp1, PɸBw-Kp2, and PɸBw-Kp3. Morphological characterization demonstrated that the phage PɸBw-Kp3 to the family (lambda-like phages) and both phages PɸBw-Kp1 and ɸBw-Kp2 to the family (T1-like phages). The isolated bacteriophages had a large burst size, thermal and pH viability and efficient adsorption rate to the host cells.
Conclusion: In present study, the efficacy of bacteriophages against ESBL pathogenic bacterium promises a remarkable achievement for phage therapy. It seems that, these isolated bacteriophages, in the form of phage cocktails, had a strong antibacterial impacts and a broad-spectrum strategy against ESBL-producing isolated from burn ulcers.

Article Synopsis
- * The study conducted at Thiruvandarkoil Lake in Puducherry, India, employed microbiological and genomic techniques to analyze resistant bacteria, identifying multiple genetic factors contributing to their resistance.
- * Key findings included the discovery of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production in certain bacteria, along with genes linked to heavy metal resistance and virulence, highlighting the urgent need for monitoring programs in India to combat this issue.

The paucity of information on the genomic diversity of drug-resistant bacteria in most food-producing animals, including poultry in Nigeria, has led to poor hazard characterization and the lack of critical control points to safeguard public health. Hence, this study used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to assess the presence and the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes, mobile genetic elements, virulence genes, and phages in Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL - E. coli) isolates obtained from poultry via the EURL guideline of 2017 in Ilorin, Nigeria.

The lytic spectrum of phages is usually limited to only a few strains of the same bacterial species that can lyse. In clinical molecular epidemiology, bacterial strains are commonly classified into sequence types (STs) using the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) approach. The aim of this study was to determine the association between the phage lytic spectrum and STs.
