Viruses that target other viruses
Bacteria that target other viruses within human cells
Viruses that target bacteria
Which are the 6 nosocomial bacteria that can exhibit multidrug resistant properties?
Hint: ESKAPE!
E faecium, S. pneumoniae, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp
E coli, S. aureus, K pneumoniae, A. baumannii, Ps. aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp
Enterobacter spp, S aureus, K. pneumoniae, A baumannii, Ps. aeruginosa, and E. faecium
Enterobacter spp, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, A.baumannii, B. pseudomallei, and E. faecium
Which type of bacteriophages (phages) will be preferred in the production of phage therapy against bacterial infections?
Lytic phages
Lysogenic phages
Both lytic or lysogenic phages are suitable
Prophage
Identify the possible usage of phage therapy against bacterial infections
Personalised phage therapy against resistant bacterial infections
Adjunctive therapy with antibiotics
Localised phage therapy may be created and administered
All of the above
Which of the options best describe the limitations of phage therapy?
Bacteria may have phage resistance, which renders phage therapy ineffective
Use of phage therapy is not ethical as viruses are being used, hence there will be regulatory issues
Pharmacokinetics of phage therapy is unknown as there are no pharmacokinetics studies
Good manufacturing practice (GMP) production of phage therapy is unattainable
