Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species (2023)
Journal Article

Bacteriophages are the most diverse genetic entities on Earth. In this study, two novel bacteriophages, nACB1 (Podoviridae morphotype) and nACB2 (Myoviridae morphotype), which infect Acinetobacter beijerinckii and Acinetobacter halotolerans, respecti...

Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy (2023)
Journal Article

A universal taxonomy of viruses is essential for a comprehensive view of the virus world and for communicating the complicated evolutionary relationships among viruses. However, there are major differences in the conceptualisation and approaches to v... Read More about Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy.

Abolishment of morphology-based taxa and change to binomial species names: 2022 taxonomy update of the ICTV bacterial viruses subcommittee (2023)
Journal Article

This article summarises the activities of the Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses for the period of March 2021−March 2022. We provide an overview of the new taxa proposed in 2021, approved by the Execu...

Complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas Phage Motto (2022)
Journal Article

We describe the complete genome sequence of bacteriophage Motto, which infects clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Motto is a T1-like siphovirus related to members of the family Drexlerviridae and has a capsid width of;57 nm and a tail length...

The control of waterborne pathogenic bacteria in fresh water using a biologically active filter (2022)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to investigate the control of three species of bacteria commonly associated with biologically contaminated water, using biofiltration. In this study, a laboratory-scale biofilter system was used to investigate the control of...

Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

How many of us have isolated and sequenced a phage, gotten reads back from the sequencing facility and thought "What now?" How can I assemble the data, and should I use an automated pipeline (DFAST, RASTtk, PHANOTATE) to annotate the genome, or shall... Read More about Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy.

Classification of bacterial viruses in the class Caudoviricetes (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The classification of bacterial viruses has undergone substantial change in recent years as a direct result of significant increases in the number of sequenced genomes. These data revealed that the morphological families Myoviridae, Siphoviridae and... Read More about Classification of bacterial viruses in the class Caudoviricetes.

ICTV virus taxonomy profile: Chaseviridae 2022 (2022)
Journal Article

Members of the family Chaseviridae are lytic bacterial viruses infecting representatives of the bacterial class Gammaproteobacteria. Chaseviruses have a global distribution. Virions of members of this family have a myovirus morphology (icosahedral he... Read More about ICTV virus taxonomy profile: Chaseviridae 2022.

Diversity of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and bacteriophage-mediated spread of the Oxa23 carbapenemase (2022)
Journal Article

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries such as Egypt, but little is known about the molecular epidemiology and mechanisms of resistance in these settings. Here, we characterize carbapenem-resist... Read More about Diversity of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and bacteriophage-mediated spread of the Oxa23 carbapenemase.

Genomic diversity of bacteriophages infecting the genus acinetobacter (2022)
Journal Article

The number of sequenced Acinetobacter phage genomes in the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration has increased significantly in recent years, from 37 in 2017 to a total of 139 as of January 2021 with genome sizes ranging from 31 to...
