Fatma Abdelrahman, founder of Women in Phage, invites phage scientists to complete her survey on women’s experiences and challenges in phage research. Share your insights to shape future support and inspire the next generation.

Phage Australia and colleagues has announced ISO 9001:2015 certification for its therapeutic phage biobank-to-bedside pipeline! ISO 9001 certification not only enhances Phage Australia's operational efficiency, but also ensures their produc

iNtRON Biotechnology announced on August 5, 2025 that its IMPA (Intelligent Modular Phage Assembly) phage engineering technology produced a phage carrying a colibactin-degrading protein on its capsid. The company says the engineered phage k

On 4 August 2025 ASST Fatebenefratelli Sacco announced that its infectious diseases department had started phage therapy for a patient with a pressure ulcer infected by antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, described as one of the fi

Harvard Undergraduate Microbiology Society explainer by Srikara Tadigotla on phage-antibiotic synergy (PAS), which pairs inexpensive antibiotics with adaptable phages so that bacteria must trade off phage resistance against antibiotic resis

This month, we explored how Canada's first successful prosthetic joint infection phage therapy case is leading up to a full clinical trial; plus Jessica wrote a guide/manifesto(?) about why you should sequence (and re-sequence) your phages.
