Bacteriophages are emerging as a promising alternative in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria amidst the escalating global antimicrobial resistance crisis. Recently, there has been notable resurgence of interest phages, prompting extensive research into their therapeutic potential. Beyond conventional microbiology and virology techniques, such genomics proteomics, novel phenotypic chemical characterization methods being explored. Among these, is growing vibrational spectroscopy, especially advanced modalities surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), tip-enhanced (TERS), atomic force microscopy-infrared (AFM-IR), which offer improved sensitivity spatial resolution. This review explores spectrum uses for bacteriophages, including its role diagnostics, biosensing, phage detection, assistance phage-based therapy, advancing basic research.

Antimicrobial resistance is rising as a major global public health threat and antibiotic genes are widely spread among species, including human oral pathogens, e.g., Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. This Gram-negative, capnophilic, facultative anaerobe well recognized causative agent leading to periodontal diseases, seriously systemic infections endocarditis. A. actinomycetemcomitans has also evolved mechanisms against complement-mediated phagocytosis resiliently survives in serum-rich vivo environments, i.e., inflamed pockets blood circulations. bacterium, however, demonstrated increasing sensitivity serum, when being infected by pseudolysogenic bacteriophage S1249, which switched the lytic state response serum. Concomitantly, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc), composed of multiple copies three enzymes (E1, E2, E3) oxidatively decarboxylates acetyl-CoA available for tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, was found up-regulated 10-fold bacterial lysogen after serum exposure. The data clearly indicated that certain components induced phage virion replication egress, resulting lysis. Phage manipulation ATP production through regulation PDHc, gatekeeper linking glycolysis TCA cycle aerobic respiration, suggests more efficient energy delivery system required progeny release this environment. Insights into fitness mimic condition will provide alternative strategies control infection, addition antibiotics.
