BACTERIOPHAGE THERAPY 2
BACTERIOPHAGE THERAPY ON Pseudomonas aeruginosa
NAME: Roaya Alhawsawi

BACTERIOPHAGE THERAPY ON Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Introduction
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and replicate
within the bacterial cell wall. Most have double-stranded DNA
genomes found in heads with icosahedral symmetry, and their
tails vary in length. All bacteriophages are classified in the
order Caudovirales and belong to the families Myoviridae (long,
contractile tail), Siphoviridae (long, non-contractile tail)and
Podoviridae (short, non-contractile tail) (Harper & Enright,
2011). Bacteriophages were first discovered by Fredrick Twort
and Felix D’Herelle in 1915. Since then, bacteriophages started
being widely used for treating bacterial infections. This,

however, did not last long as chemical antibiotics were
discovered and preferred because bacteriophages were not well
understood and their efficacy was controversial. Things have
now changed due to the development of antibiotic-resistant
bacterial strains and bacteriophages have started being used
again. Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: You need more
background on phage. Life cycle. Lytic vs. lysogenic, etc.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a multidrug-resistant Gram-negative
bacteria that causes infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis
patients and is a regular cause of hospital-acquired bacterial
pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Since
bacteriophages are capable of reaching bacteria protected within
biofilms (such as those found in the lungs of patients with
cystic fibrosis), they are being considered as an alternative
treatment to antibiotics. Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: You
need more about P. aeruginosa. How many people get it every
year? It is lethal? Who is infected? You should get some
statistics from the CDC or WHO. I would also start with this
and then talk about phage.
You should also talk about the developent of drug resistance.
What are they resistant to?
Types of P.aeruginosa bacteriophages
Many P.aeruginosa bacteriophages have been discovered,
and they are classified into at least seven genera of lytic
phages. These include T7-like, ɸKMV-like, LUZ24- like, N4-
like, PB1-like, ɸKZ-like and JG004-like including a similar
number of temperate genera.(Essoh et al., 2013). Therapeutic
bacteriophage cocktails such as “pyophage” have also been
formulated. “Pyophage” contains many different phages that
target streptococcus, staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, proteus
and P. aeruginosa. Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: How are
these different from each other?
In- vitro and In- vivo Phage Trials
Many in-vitro and in-vivo phage trials have been conducted on
animal models and human patients. In in-vitro trials, the

potential of phages against P. aeruginosa strains in planktonic
cultures or biofilms isolates has been evaluated. Some of the
trials that have been done include: (1.) Fu et al. study of the
effect of lytic phages in the prevention of P. aeruginosa biofilm
formation in hydrogel-coated catheters, (2.) Pires et al. study
of biofilm control using a broad- host- range phage for P.
aeruginosa, (3.) Torres-Barceló et al. report on treatment using
a combination of Podoviridae phage LUZ7 and streptomycin
against P. aeruginosa PAO1 (Pires, Vilas Boas, Sillankorva, &
Azeredo, 2015). Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: Don’t just
list these. You need to talk a little bit about each of them.
What phage was used? What kind of system was it done in?
How were the phage delivered? How well did they work?
Some of the in- vivo trials that have been conducted on human
patients include: (1.) Wright et al. study of the the efficacy and
safety of a therapeutic phage preparation (Biophage-PA), (2.)
Sivera Marza et al. report on the successful topical use of phage
to treat a burn patient who had been colonized by P. aeruginosa
months after skin grafts had been applied and (3.) Merabishvili
et al. description of a quality-controlled small-scale production
of a phage cocktail (BFC-1) for use in human clinical
practice(Pires et al., 2015).
Discussion
Many bacteriophages have been isolated and their effects
against P. aeruginosa documented. A cocktail of ɸMR299-2 and
ɸNH-4 was effective in eliminating P. aeruginosa NH57388A
(mucoid) and P. aeruginosa MR299 (non- mucoid) strains when
growing as a biofilm on a cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial
CFBE41o- cell line (Alemayehu et al., 2012). PAK-P or P3-
CHA reduced mortality and lung damage in mice with lethal
pneumonia caused by MDR P. aeruginosa (Rolain, Hraiech, &
Bregeon, 2015). Cocktail from “pyophage” showed lytic activity
against 70% of P. aeruginosa strains cultured in growth
medium, while PAK-P1 reduced mortality and lung inflation in
mice with lethal pneumonia caused by PAK bioluminescent P.
aeruginosa strain. Phage LUZ7 used with streptomycin inhibited

growth of the P. aeruginosa PAOI strain, while Engineered T7
phage with aiiA gene inhibited biofilm formation in the P.
aeruginosa PAOI strain. Phage PB-1 and tobramycin reduced
resistance to tobramycin in the P. aeruginosa PAOI strain
(Rolain et al., 2015). Phage P2-10Ab01 isolated from sewage
water in Abidjan could lyse two pyophage-resistant strains, C7-
6 and C9-5, and PAP3 was capable of lysogenization (Essoh et
al., 2013). Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: How effective?
Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: How were the phage
delivered? Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: What is this?
Comment by Daniel Ginsburg: You need a little more
detail about each of these. How did they work? How was the
experiment done?
Quorum Sensing Inhibition
Since hydrolyzing acyl homoserine lactonases can decrease in
vivo virulence of P. aeruginosa and in vitro biofilm production,
bacteriophages can be modified genetically to produce
lactonase, which would facilitate inhibition of P.aeruginosa
biofilm production (Rolain et al., 2015). … Comment by
Daniel Ginsburg: How do these work?
I don’t understand what this has to do with quoroum sensing.
Mechanism of Bacteriophage Resistance
Even though bacteriophage therapy has made headway in the
treatment of bacterial infections, the issue of bacteria that are
resistant to phages has come up. The mechanisms of bacterial
resistance to phages drive the evolution of both bacteria and
bacteriophages, and ongoing isolation of new bacteriophages
targeting various hosts and host receptors is, therefore,
necessary. Bacterial resistance to phages may involve three
mechanisms: inhibition of the adsorption of phages on the
bacteria and injection of DNA, use of restriction enzymes to
degrade phage DNA and the CRISPR- Cas system that gives
bacteria immunity against the phages (Essoh et al., 2013). The
CRISPR-Cas mediates interference against certain types of
temperate phages. However, some phages found in the Mu- like

genus have been found to carry genes that can inactivate the
system.
Challenges Facing Use of Bactereophages
The potential disadvantages of bacteriophages can be
categorized into four: phage selection, phage-host- range
limitation uniqueness of phages as pharmaceuticals and
unfamiliarity with phages (Loc-Carrillo & Abedon, 2011). Not
all phages are good for therapeutics since some of them may
cause the development of immunogenic reactions due to large
uncontrolled amounts of phages in circulation (Paul et al.,
2011). However, use of bacteriophages devoid of endotoxins
should not induce a strong stimulation of the pro-inflammatory
markers (Morello et al., 2011).
Conclusion
In this therapy, isolation of bacteriophage using the strain from
the patient is preferred over using readymade phages (Henry,
Lavigne, & Debarbieux, 2013). Moreover, bioluminescent
bacteria can be used to compare several bacteriophages, so as to
establish candidates for therapeutics based on their real in vivo
efficacy instead of they are in vitro performance (Debarbieux et
al., 2010). With a combination of proper selection of phages,
proper formulation and improved clinical understanding of how
phages work, bacteriophage could easily become the most
effective way for treating bacterial infections. Comment by
Daniel Ginsburg: As I see it, everything up to this point is
Body. This would be your Discussion and it needs to be
expanded. Can you talk more about isolating phage from
patients, using bioluminescent bacteria, etc.?

Wireless Access Network Plan
Newton Ad Agency is a start up with three locations; two
offices located in Austin, (headquarters rural satellite office) as
well as one office in New York. To connect all three offices, a
WAN configuration must be created. The network requires a
fast connectivity to support large files for all workstations and
remote users. To complete this task a recommendation for WAN
technology will be proposed along with a picture diagram to
visualize the overall WAN connectivity.
A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed
private telecommunications network that interconnects multiple
local area networks (LANs); In an enterprise, a WAN may
consist of connections to a company's headquarters, branch
offices, colocation facilities, cloud services and other facilities
(Rouse, 2016). For the Newton Ad Agency each branch office
will be connected using a single dedicated private network that
is point to point between Austin, New York, and the Satellite
office. The Austin office will be the main support of the
Internet connection using a public internet link. To support the
connection, it is recommended to use a Hybrid WAN with
MPLS. MPLS will reduce the cost of WAN Bandwidth with an
average savings of 17 percent, while providing a guaranteed
performance for real-time, IP-based applications such as voice

and video (Sturt, 2015). A solid Hybrid WAN is underpinned by
solid integration between private IP to ensure performance
(Sturt, 2015).
The multi-protocol label switching will be a great fit for fast
connectivity for the main headquarters and New York offices,
which is used for high-performance telecommunications. Austin
headquarters will have a local area network with two WAN
connections. There will be a direct-to-public internet service as
well as a managed WAN provider that provides routing traffic
to each branch. Two routers will be used for the public internet
and access to the private WAN. Lastly, the internet connectivity
will be secured using a secure virtual private connection. Below
is an example of the WAN connection. The connection will
ensure performance and guarantee the WAN is sufficient for
future business needs.

Newton Ad Agency is a start-up business with two locations in
Austin, TX; the main headquarters and the Rural Satellite office
located two miles from the central hub as well as a location in

New York. The business and technical necessities require IP
addresses assigned within the range of 192.168.100.0-
192.168.103.255. The Rural Satellite Office and the New York
office must support 200 PC users each respectively, and the
Austin headquarters will need to support 500 hosts. To complete
this task, each location will be assigned a designated IP address
over a Virtual Private Network to create an encrypted
connection allowing the appropriate level of security for the
connected systems when the underlying network infrastructure
alone cannot provide it (Rouse, 2016). In addition, a remote
access VPN would be beneficial, providing secure access to the
remote user organization’s network, all while keeping in
budget.
To complete IP assignments for each location, we need to
identify the class of our starting IP 192.168.100.0 or
11000000.1010100.01100100.00000000. By looking at the first
three numbers of the IP, we can establish that the IP addresses
for each location will be in class C, with a default subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. All addresses assigned will be 32 bit IPv4,
meaning Each byte, or 8-bit segment of the address is divided
by a period and typically expressed as a number 0-255
(Ellingwood,2014). The Austin headquarters being the largest
requires 500 hosts will need two assigned IP addresses, the
default subnet falls under a /24, which is a total of 2^8=256-2=
254 possible hosts. We need 500 hosts for Austin, so the next
possible CIDR to use would be /23 totaling to 2^9-2= 510
possible hosts. The binary subnet would be
11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000 for Austin making the
IP addresses 192.168.100.0/23 and 192.168.101.0/23. The hosts'
addresses will be 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.101.1 allocating to
510 hosts for Austin headquarters with a subnet mask of
255.255.254.0.
For the New York and Rural Satellite offices both require
200 hosts a piece, equivalent to 2^8-2=254 hosts total for each
office with a /24= 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000.
The New York office will run on the IP address

192.168.102.0/24 with hosts addresses of 192.168.102.1 to
192.168.102.254. Lastly, you have the Rural Satellite office that
will have an assigned IP of 192.168.103.0/24 with hosts
addresses ranging from 192.168.103.1 to 192.168.103.254. The
New York and Rural Satellite office will have an identical
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
