Atif Khan (phage scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center in Chennai, India and longtime Phage Directory volunteer) was interviewed on the "You Make Me Sick!" podcast about his work. They talk phages, biofilms, biofouling, multidrug-r

A new 'evolutionary trained' phage cocktail exploits resistance tradeoffs to target P. aeruginosa biofilms with enhanced efficacy without triggering dual-phage resistance.

Amit Rimon (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and colleagues published a new paper on combinatorial treatment of pulsed blue light and phage therapy for antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa, showing a synergistic bactericidal effect on plankton

Ana Catarina Duarte (Instituto de Productos Lácteos de Asturias, Spain) and colleagues examined the synergistic removal of S. aureus biofilms using phage Kayvirus rodi and exopolysaccharide depolymerase Dpo7, showing a significant decrease

Gordon Ramage’s team at the University of Glasgow, UK is hiring 2 PhD students to study the use of phage against clinically important at biofilms.

EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) is hiring a postdoc to explore phage-bacteria interactions within stream biofilms using microfluidic techniques.

The Roach Lab (San Diego State University) is hiring two postdocs to study infectious diseases and phages, with one role focused on biofilm-on-chip microfluidics research and the other on phage growth parameters and environmental isolation.

Swapnil Ganesh Sanmukh (Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia) and colleagues published a new paper in MDPI Cells on accessing the in vivo efficiency of clinically isolated phages against uropathogenic and invasive biofilm-forming Esche

The Infection Biology of Bacterial Viruses group at MSB Medical School Berlin is looking to fill a PhD position in the area of bacteriophage infection of biofilms.

In this preprint, the authors use microfluidic culture and high resolution microscopy to study how the cellular scale architecture of model 2-species biofilms impacts cell-cell and cell-phage interactions controlling larger scale population

This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter and University of Bath is for a student to work on a project entitled Quantitative Modelling of Bacteriophage Degradation of Biofilms. The project will involve a combination of simulations an

The SWBio DTP is advertising a PhD project on how biofilms protect themselves against bacteriophage infection and how they fail.

Paper: A novel bacteriophage cocktail targeting Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA biofilms.

Research associate to explore the development of deep-ultraviolet light sources and evaluating their germicidal efficacy on various pathogens and biofilms.

Eawag researchers found that phages combined with chemical disinfection improved removal of pathogens from surfaces. Treatment outcomes differed by bacterial growth form; more than 99% of free bacteria and wet biofilms were removed, and app

Paper: Anti-biofilm activity of phages against clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients with LVAD infection

The De Nobrega Lab at University of Southampton (Highfield Campus) is hiring a research fellow to create world-class interdisciplinary research and industry partnerships to deliver breakthrough science and technologies to control and exploi

Elyse Stachler (Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology) and colleagues published a new paper in Applied and Environmental Microbiology showing phage treatment before chemical disinfection can enhance removal of pla

Matthew Bond (Dartmouth College, USA) published a paper in eLife on how matrix-trapped viruses can prevent invasion of bacterial biofilms by colonizing cells. They showed that T7 phage remains viable when trapped in an E. coli biofilm, and

Diana Pires (University of Minho, Portugal) and colleagues published a review in Annual Review of Virology on understanding the complex phage-host interactions in biofilm communities. They summarize the main features affecting phage-biofilm
