University of Nebraska-Lincoln authors show that small protists can consume viruses and grow and divide given only viruses to eat; the ciliate Halteria sp. foraging on chloroviruses shows dynamics similar to other microbial trophic interact

We’re at the end of the year again, and what a whirlwind of a 2022 it’s been! Here's our annual end-of-year reflection on what we're most proud of, what we've accomplished, & those who've helped us along the way! Hi phage friends, We’re at

Fixed Phage, a biotechnology company based in Glasgow, has secured £1.5 million in funding to further develop and commercialize its phage technology.

The Phage Australia Clinical Network has published the STAMP Protocol for phage therapy. This is an open-label, single-arm trial investigating a standardised treatment and monitoring protocol for phage therapy. The aim is to recruit 50–100

In a new study published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, Sheetal Patpatia (University of Helsinki) and colleagues describe how they set up a rapid hydrogel-based liquid phage susceptibility assay (PST) for the selection

In this study, a novel Pseudomonas phage, vB_PaeS_VL1 (VL1), was isolated from urban sewage. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that VL1 is a novel species in the genus Litunavirus of subfamily Migulavirinae. The VL1 is a virulent phage as no g

In this paper, Nale et al. review current progress in Clostridioides difficile phage research. They discuss tested strategies of isolating C. difficile phages directly, and via enrichment methods from various sample types and through antibi

The Institute of Translational Medicine for Health Care Systems at MSB Medical School Berlin is looking to fill a postdoc position in biophysics of bacteriophage infection.

From Phase Genomics via Twitter: Milestone alert! We’re celebrating 150+ papers published using our tech. And there’s a lot to share: our clients made breakthroughs in a broad range of fields from metagenomics to oncology. Here’s a look at

The Hall and Deng labs at the Technical University of Munich are looking for a PhD student or Postdoc to work on developing phage therapeutics against necrotising enterocolitis (NEC).

This week, Jan takes a detour into data analytics! This follows up on the last informal Data Series post designing an auditable, replicable, and accessible phage data system. This time, Jan delves a bit deeper into what data analytics is, w

The Theoretical Biology Group at the Institute of Integrative Biology ETH Zurich is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in infectious disease dynamics co-supervised by Professors Sebastian Bonhoeffer and Roland Regoes.

Monash University is hiring a research fellow in microbiology to work on bacteriophages and bacteria such as Klebsiella and E. coli.

Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a Research Technician II to work on various projects in the Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology.

This MRC-funded project, led by Dr Gwen Knight (LSHTM) and Professor Jodi Lindsay (SGUL), will use mathematical modelling and data analysis to quantify the distributions of resistance in the clinical important bacteria methicillin resistant

The Department of Genetics & Genome Biology at the University of Leicester is looking to recruit a technician as part of their Professional Services team, providing support to the student teaching programme and research laboratories. In thi
