Bas Dutilh We are thinking about making virus taxonomy more consistent with the rest of biology by introducing binomial species nomenclature. You know: genus name & species epithet. Do you have an opinion about this? Let us know: Paper | IC

Ael Hardy Has anyone successfully performed proteomics (LC-MS) on whole phage particles (not bands from SDS-PAGE gels)? Looking for alternative protocols as the one I have been trying has given me a hard time. — @ael_hardy, via Twitter

Anushila Chatterjee (University of Colorado) and colleagues have used transposon library screening and RNA sequencing to thoroughly investigate the interaction of E. faecalis with a virulent phage. They show that phage predation can influen

Xiaofang Wang (Nanjing Agricultural University) and colleagues have studied the efficacy of different phage combinations on Ralstonia solanacearum infection of tomato plants, and found that increasing the number of phages used at a time dec

The 2nd Hanson Wade Bacteriophage Therapy Summit will take place March 24-26, 2020 in Boston. Key speakers include representatives from the FDA and the EMA, as well as leaders of several phage biotech companies.

I am working on isolation and characterisation of marine phages for anti-bio fouling activity. Our lab has assessed the influence of chlorine on different marine microorganisms as well as barnacles, and now we are looking into use of marine

John Rex, MD (Chief Medical Officer for Wellcome Trust) has written a blog post about a new paper published by Ursula Theuretzbacher and colleagues on the global pre-clinical pipeline for antibacterials. It shows that as of May 2019, 33/407

Steven Swift (Beltsville Agricultural Research Center) and colleagues have engineered a chimeric phage lysin that lyses Clostridium perfringens, an important poultry pathogen. They fused the cell wall binding domain of a C. perfringens phag
