| Abstract | The most common isolated species from recalcitrant endodontic infections is Enterococcus faecalis, a gram positive multiply drug-resistant and environmentally stable bacterium. As a potential route to a biological solution to E. faecalis root-canal infection we aimed to isolate, characterise and test in vitro a range of lytic bacteriophages targeted against E. faecalis isolates from oral endodontic infections obtained from labs across Europe.Five bacteriophages were isolated from concentrated waste water named (SHEF2,4,5,6,7) that belong to the Siphoviridae family. They are specific to E. faecalis with genome sizes ranging from 39-43kb. Full chromosome sequences of SHEF2,4 and 5 alongside biological evidence revealed that they are lytic bacteriophages which place them as suitable candidate for therapy. We tested the ability of these phages to eradicate biofilm from abiotic surfaces and a novel cross-sectional tooth model while also showing that they are able to rescue Zebrafish embryos from E. faecalis systemic clinical strain infection. Finally, we established that the extracellular exopolysaccharide of E. faecalis was the bacterial docking target of these phages during the initial stages of phage infection. We suggest that these or other bacteriophages might be novel adjuncts to current endodontic therapy to eradicate recalcitrant biofilm and antibiotic resistant E. faecalis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
