Jolien Onsea and colleagues from KU Leuven, University Hospitals Leuven, and the Queen Astrid Military Hospital in Belgium successfully used phage therapy to treat four patients with severe musculoskeletal infections. Importantly, the autho

Hans Duyvejonck and colleagues at Ghent University and the Queen Astrid Military Hospital in Belgium have published a paper evaluating the use of qPCR to quantify 5 phages within a cocktail. They compared qPCR to plaque assays, and showed t

The phage biotech company BiomX has presented in vivo data that shows successful intra-tumoural delivery of phages to Fusobacterium nucleatum, bacteria that reside inside tumours and whose presence is thought to protect tumours from chemoth

Wolbachia are bacteria that are transmitted among female arthropods, sometimes killing males of their hosts. Jessamyn Perlmutter of Vanderbilt University and colleagues have shown that a single Wolbachia prophage gene may be responsible for

Dr. Christine Rohde I recently accepted to serve as Guest Editor for the Special Issue “Phage Diversity for Research and Application” of the journal Antibiotics. I would be very pleased if you agreed to contribute a research paper, or a com

Dr. Heather Hendrickson Does anyone have a robust and reliable method that they like for auto detecting HGT in completely sequence genomes? I was playing with HGTecor last week but it seems to be broken. Help? —@DrHHNZ | Tweet thread

Dr. Pallavali Roja Rani I am seeking a post-doctoral position related to Bacteriophage therapy, Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm studies. The main objective of my Ph.D. thesis was to study the predominant bacterial isolates of septic wound

At the end of 2018, Phage Directory helped coordinate a phage sourcing effort on behalf of a patient in Helsinki. More than 10 labs around the world sent or tested around 200 phages. As of today, some of the results of this effort have been

I am Ritam Das, a third year undergraduate student studying Life Sciences at Acharya Narendra Dev College, University of Delhi. I’ve been actively working at the Anti-Mycobacterial Drug Discovery Lab of our college under the guidance of Dr.

I am Uchenna Precious Nnadi, a graduate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I am looking for a graduate mentor that will accept to supervise me to develop into a fantastic phage researcher and to provide impactful

Hoping to get some really cool #TEM images of cool #phages infecting #bacteria really soon. Anyone have any advice on imaging a phage infection? — @MotherOfPhage | Tweet thread

Anyone inoculate their samples for enriched isolation of phage with multiple hosts to save resources? —@BryanGibb2 | Tweet thread
