Researchers, students and professionals from multiple institutions took part in phage research training through a collaboration between TU-K and the Phage Hunters Training and Research Program. The programme combined online theory with hand

The University of Nottingham, UK is hiring a Research Associate/Fellow in Bacteriophage Biology to work on a BBSRC-funded collaborative project on the use of phage to control Salmonella infections in poultry.

University of Leicester, UK is hiring a Research Technician to study dental phages and their interactions with oral pathogens.

An anonymous donation to the University of Toronto has led to a grant call of up to 1.5 million Canadian dollars for phage therapy research, with letters of interest due on April 19th. There are options for $200,000 and $50,000 allocations.

MBIE Endeavour Research Programme (Christchurch, New Zealand) is hiring a Programme Manager to coordinate research projects for the Phage-Based Biocontrol Programme, which involves establishing a pipeline for phage-based biocontrol discover

USF researchers adapted the polony method to quantify gokushoviruses, one of the least understood groups of phages, for the first time; they may be more abundant than previously thought. Their ecological role remains unknown. University of

Daniel Lauster (Freie Universität Berlin) and colleagues published a Nature Nanotechnology paper showing their use of phage capsid nanoparticles to block influenza virus entry into cells, leading to inhibition of infection in vitro and in v

Nathan Porter (University of Michigan) and colleagues published a new preprint on how phase-variable mechanisms alter phage susceptibility in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron.

Amit Vikram (Intralytix, Inc) and colleagues published a paper showing that their company's EcoShield phage cocktail reduces E. coli O157:H7 levels by 97% in eight types of foods (including meats, fish, cheese and lettuce), including reduci

Adair Borges and colleagues from the Bondy-Denomy lab at UCSF have published a paper discussing how Pseudomonas aeruginosa host factors, previously characterized for their role in alginate biosynthesis, affect its Type I-F CRISPR–Cas system

Michelle Bach (Stanford University) and colleagues published a new preprint on how the filamentous phage Pf (present in 69% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa wounds) delays healing of P. aeruginosa-infected wounds by provoking an anti-phage immune

Przemysław Decewicz (University of Warsaw, Poland) and colleagues have isolated two virulent phages infecting Ochrobactrum spp. for the first time. The host, due to its extensive repertoire of enzymatic properties, is a key player in the bi
