• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  Our group collect phages from the environment, mainly from urban sewages, and perform their morphological, biological and genetic characterization. We are also able to obtain phage resistant mutants for further analysis and have a lot of experience in work with bacterial biofilm. I encourage you to read a few our papers (DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03326; DOI: 10.3390/ijms21176345; DOI:10.1038/s41598-020-60568-4; DOI: 10.3390/v13020318;)

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  We are willing to participate in a project where phage resistant bacterial mutants are needed for further analysis. Testing of such mutants may be important in the context of comparison with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We may isolate new lytic phages, characterize them, test their infection ability and obtain bacteria resistant to them. You may use such bacteria for your research. We have the opportunity to work with different bacterial strains of 2nd class biosafety level. We can try to obtain phage resistant bacteria in liquid culture or/and in biofilm.
