Rabia Fatima (McMaster University) and colleagues have published a new review on phage-antibiotic synergy against Pseudomonas, synthesizing clinical successes and the mechanisms behind them while underscoring the tenuous links between curre

Sarah Macdowell (The Ohio State University) and colleagues published a new paper on meropenem interactions with P. aeruginosa phages. They found that phages PEV2 and ΦKMV reduce bacterial burden in vitro and ex vivo, with enhanced efficacy

Rabia Fatima (McMaster University) and colleagues published a new paper on temperate phage-antibiotic synergy in P. aeruginosa, showing widespread synergy between temperate phages and antibiotics, but varying by phage, host, and antibiotic

Ashlan Kunz Coyne (Wayne State University, Detroit, USA) and colleagues published a new paper on evaluating phage-antibiotic combinations against ESKAPE pathogens, showing synergistic and antagonistic interactions.

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

Jumpei Fujiki and colleagues explore the fitness trade-offs between phage and antibiotic sensitivity in phage-resistant variants.

Julián Bulssico (Aix-Marseille Université) and colleagues have discovered that cell filamentation plays a key role in successful phage predation, leading to phage-antibiotic synergy.

CIMI - Sorbonne Université is hiring a postdoc to participate in the pre-clinical development of a synergistic phage therapy/antibiotic treatment protocol against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

In a new paper in PNAS, Benoit Pons (University of Exeter) and colleagues show that antibiotics that target the protein translation machinery can alter the outcome of bacteria-phage interactions by interfering with the production of phage-e

In a new paper in Microbiology Spectrum, Aude Ferran (Université de Toulouse) and colleagues report that the combination of phages and antibiotics can prevent the selection of resistant bacteria.

The University of Exeter's Living Systems Institute is inviting applications for a PhD studentship fully-funded by DSTL and the University of Exeter. This project will provide novel understanding on the biological mechanisms underlying the

Paper: Phage-antibiotic combination therapy for multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa: In vitro synergy testing.

Pre-print: Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy across antibiotic classes reveals new mechanism for preventing lysogeny.

Pre-print: Subtherapeutic doses of vancomycin synergize with bacteriophages for treatment of experimental methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis

Paper: Assessment of the microbiome during bacteriophage therapy in combination with systemic antibiotics to treat a case of staphylococcal device infection, by Andre Mu et al.

Carly Davis (University of Alberta, Canada) and colleagues published a new paper in Microorganisms showing that aztreonam lysine (an antibiotic) increases the activity of phages E79 and phiKZ against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01.

Katarzyna Danis-Wlodarczyk (Ohio State University) and colleagues published a new preprint on the antagonistic effect of colistin and ciprofloxacin on bactericidal, bacteriolytic, and virion-production activities of P. aeruginosa podovirus

Carmen Gu Liu (TAILΦR, Baylor College of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in MBio describing phage-antibiotic synography, a comprehensive method of assessing the effects of phage-antibiotic combinations. They saw that phages c

James Gurney (Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues published a new paper on 'phage steering': when phages are used to push pathogens to evolve to be less antibiotic-resistant. They show that Pseudomonas phage OMKO1 effectively pu

Sara Clifton of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and colleagues have used population modeling to examine the role of latent prophages in bacterial populations in response to antibiotic treatment. They show that antibiotics can
