Matt Walker (Columbia University) and colleagues published a new paper on RNA-guided flagellar remodeling by temperate phages, showing prophages use TldR transcription factors to alter host flagellar composition, enhancing bacterial motilit

Andrian Gajigan (University of Hawaii at Manoa) and colleagues published a new preprint on a dinoflagellate giant virus with a micron-length tail with visual similarities to a phage. They show PelV-1’s 459 kb genome encodes diverse metaboli

Bemidji State University senior Bill Ketola, working in Dr Holly LaFerriere's lab, isolated a previously uncatalogued phage from a soil sample and named it Jant. It is lytic against Mycobacterium smegmatis, a safe lab bacterium that shares

"When I first started, I was treating anything and everything in terms of ‘this is highly drug resistant and it's failed’. But I think I have a clearer idea now, at least clinically, where I think phage would be beneficial, rather than all

We are urgently seeking Burkholderia multivorans phages for a cystic fibrosis patient in France Ways to help at this stage: - By sending your phages for testing on the patient's strains - By receiving the patient's strain and testing your

Doctors at SHRI Hospital in Guntur, led by Dr K. Kalyan Chakravarthy with Prof. Gopal Nath of Banaras Hindu University, used bacteriophage therapy to treat a 72-year-old woman with a chronic multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bone

It’s Phage Picks time! This week, we highlight some new mind-expanding papers — one showing how phage killing might train the immune system like vaccines, one unpacking how temperate phages rewrite bacterial flagella with RNA-guided tools,

Sophia Zborowsky (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues published a new paper on macrophage interference with phage therapy efficacy, showing alveolar macrophages reduce phage density through phagocytosis and adsorption inhibition, limiting ther

Mengyu Li (University of Sydney) and colleagues published a new paper on long-term stability of inhalable phage powder formulations, showing spray-dried phage powders maintained viability over four years with 0.97-2.49 log titer reduction,

Zainab Dere (Florida State University) and colleagues published a new paper on optimal phage therapy control strategies, showing mathematically that phages can suppress antibiotic-resistant bacteria and offering a clinically translatable im

Naïma Madi (McGill University) and colleagues published a new paper on ranking phage predation as dehydration determinant, showing the phage-to-pathogen ratio is a top classifier of severe dehydration in cholera patients, just behind age an

Martin Plymoth (Westmead Hospital, Australia) and colleagues published a new paper on Australian physician attitudes toward phage therapy, showing 97% of infectious disease specialists would consider using phage therapy meeting safety guide
