Spatial vulnerability: bacterial arrangements, microcolonies, and biofilms as responses to low rather than high phage densitiesStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, 1680 University Dr, Mansfield, OH 44906, USA
Viruses 4:663-87. 2012..I consider these ideas of bacterial 'spatial vulnerability' in part within a phage therapy context...

Curr Pharm Biotechnol 11:28-47. 2010....
Kinetics of phage-mediated biocontrol of bacteriaStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Mansfield, Ohio 44906, USA
Foodborne Pathog Dis 6:807-15. 2009..I conclude suggesting that phage therapy ultimately may be rationally guided by theoretical considerations of the impact of phage properties on rates of phage population growth...
Bacteriophage T4 resistance to lysis-inhibition collapseS T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, Ohio State University, Mansfield 44906, USA
Genet Res 74:1-11. 1999..From these data it is inferred that wild-type T4-infected cells display resistance to lysis-inhibition collapse by a mechanism resembling resistance to lysis from without...
Optimizing bacteriophage plaque fecundityStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Mansfield, OH 44906, USA
J Theor Biol 249:582-92. 2007....
Bacteriophage evolution given spatial constraintStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Mansfield, OH 44906, USA
J Theor Biol 248:111-9. 2007..Overall, we provide a snapshot of how phage populations may respond evolutionarily to selection for more-rapid propagation during spatially constrained growth...
Experimental examination of bacteriophage latent-period evolution as a response to bacterial availabilityStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, Ohio State University, Mansfield, Ohio, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 69:7499-506. 2003..From these observations we suggest that phage displaying very short latent periods may be viewed as specialists for propagation when bacteria within cultures are highly prevalent and transmission between cultures is easily accomplished...
Bacteriophage latent-period evolution as a response to resource availabilityS T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, Ohio State University, Mansfield, Ohio 44906, USA
Appl Environ Microbiol 67:4233-41. 2001..By taking care to differentiate latent-period phenotypic plasticity from latent-period evolution, we argue that the impact of host quality on phage latent-period evolution may be relatively small...
Practical methods for determining phage growth parametersPaul Hyman
MedCentral College of Nursing, Mansfield, OH, USA
Methods Mol Biol 501:175-202. 2009..In this chapter we present protocols for determining phage growth parameters, particularly phage rate of adsorption, latent period, eclipse period, and burst size...
Bacteriophage host range and bacterial resistancePaul Hyman
MedCentral College of Nursing, Mansfield, Ohio, USA
Adv Appl Microbiol 70:217-48. 2010..Contrasting especially bacteria mutation to adsorption resistance, these latter mechanisms likely are an underappreciated avenue of bacterial resistance to phage attack...

Ohio State University, Wooster, Ohio 44691, USA
Emerg Infect Dis 10:1482-5. 2004..5% of bovine isolates. Shiga toxin production was higher in Q933-positive isolates than Q933-negative isolates. This genetic marker may provide a useful molecular tool for epidemiologic studies...
Bacteriophage plaques: theory and analysisStephen T Abedon
Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Mansfield, OH, USA

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 8106, USA
Evolution 61:2516-27. 2007..We discuss the relevance of our findings for selection occurring in natural phage populations and for the general evolutionary epidemiology of infectious parasites...
