The Phage Innovation Network will be launched by Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network on Feb 16 2023 with an online event. This network is designed to bring together those in the UK with an interest in bacteriophages, their use and applic

The study surveyed 19 metagenomic phage-detection tools and benchmarked nine that could be installed and run at scale, comparing performance across fragmented genomes, simulated metagenomes, and real samples. Evaluation of computational pha

University of Exeter authors show, using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 and phage DMS3vir, that antibiotics targeting protein translation raise CRISPR-Cas immunity against phages carrying anti-CRISPR (acr) genes by interfering with production

We are urgently seeking Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages for a patient in Portugal. Ways to help at this stage: - By sending your phages for testing on the patient's strains - By receiving one or more of the patient's strains and testing you

This week, we're republishing an article Dr. Jon Iredell and Jessica Sacher wrote for GARDP Revive, the Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership. This Viewpoint was originally published on the REVIVE website revive.gardp.org, an

From A-Z of phage development, the 5th Bacteriophage Therapy Summit is the definitive commercial-orientated conference to accelerate phage-based applications for organizations pioneering with phage pipelines. Explore advancements in clinic

Raphael Hans wrote a new blog post on phage mediated biocontrol of phytopathogens for thephage.xyz.

National Geographic visited and wrote about Dr. Lillian Musila (Kenya Medical Research Institute) and her colleagues about their identification of over 150 phages and work toward using them to address AMR. The article features several Phage

Lucía Blasco and colleagues published a new paper describing 32 new phage tail-like bacteriocins (pyocins) from a clinical collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their potential use as typing markers and antimicrobial agents.

Hawkins et al. published a new paper which provides the first complete structural analysis of the S. epidermidis–infecting phage Andhra. Key findings include elucidating critical features for virion assembly, host recognition, and penetrati

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses recently adopted a binomial naming format for virus species. A new paper describes how to create Latinized binomials for virus species, how to automatically generate large batches of novel

Steffanie Strathdee, Graham Hatfull, Vivek Mutalik and Robert Schooley wrote a new review of the state of the art in phage therapy, covering biological mechanisms, clinical applications, remaining challenges, and future directions.

The University of Toulouse is hiring a CDD Engineer in Molecular Biology to work on a project called PHAG 2S, which seeks to understand the mechanisms governing the interactions between pathogenic bacteria and bacteriophages.

The Department of Biology, Marine Biological Section at the University of Copenhagen is inviting applicants for a PhD fellowship in bacteriophage-pathogen interactions and the potential of using phages to control fish pathogenic bacteria in

The Department of Biology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA is hiring an assistant professor to teach undergraduate courses in biological sciences for the 2021-22 academic year. The faculty position is expected to have primary respon

Well hello there, 2023! We’ve made great strides in the past year, gotten our hands wet in the lab (Jessica at least 😉), built data systems, and even delivered phages for patients. This year we aim to do a whole lot more of that! This week

The Institute for Parasitology at the Vetsuisse and Medical Faculty is seeking a postdoc to study responses of mosquitoes to skin bacterial and host volatile organic compounds by video tracking, to identify key microbial compounds that medi
