Tamsin Redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a preprint in bioRxiv describing how prophages in the infant gut are largely induced, and may be functionally relevant to their hosts. They found prophages in the inf

Amber Dance (science journalist in Los Angeles, California) published a Nature news feature article on the virus discoveries transforming biology. She highlighted the work of Mya Breitbart, Frederik Sc

This week, we’re highlighting the three feature articles we published in June: a guest blog post by David Sáez and Lorenzo Corsini on breeding better phages, a recap of a clinical phage therapy case presented in PHAVES by Dr. Laura Damioli

APC Microbiome (Cork, Ireland) is hiring a postdoc to work on a new project investigating the role of phages in horizontal gene transfer in the human gut microbiome.

Locus Biosciences (Raleigh, North Carolina), a clinical stage phage-based biotech company, is hiring a Laboratory Animal Technician to assist with the daily care of research animals housed within the laboratory animal facility.

Recent updates to C&T guest writing process! Thanks to our super engaged community of phage enthusiasts (all of you!) we are outgrowing our old ways of getting each Capsid & Tail feature ready the week or two before it comes out. So we're

Society for Bacteriophage Research and Therapy, India is organizing the 2nd International Conference on Bacteriophage Research on July 22-24, 2021. The aim of this conference is to bring researchers, professors, and university students from

Aleksandra Petrovic Fabijan (Westmead Institute for Medical Research) and colleagues published a preprint on L-form switching in pathogenic Escherichia coli. They demonstrated that the osmotically fragile L-form is highly tolerant of oxidat

Rodrigo Ibarra-Chávez (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues published a review in FEMS on emerging applications of phage satellites in biotechnology. They found phage satellites exploit phages to ensure their own propagation and horizon

Michael Blazanin and Paul Turner (Yale University) published a preprint in EcoEvoRxiv on the role of community context in shaping bacteria-phage ecology and evolution. They synthesized the emerging body of bacteria-phage experiments in medi

Kristopher Kieft (University of Wisconsin–Madison) and colleagues published a research article in Nature Communications on the ecology of inorganic sulfur auxiliary metabolism in widespread phages. They identified 191 phages encoding 227 au

Stephen Abedon (Ohio State University, USA) and colleagues published an opinion article in Viruses on improving phage-biofilm in vitro experimentation. They discuss current issues and suggest improvements in the design, interpretation and r

We are urgently seeking Mycobacterium abscessus (smooth colony) phages for a patient in the USA. Ways to help at this stage: - By sending your phages for testing on the patient's strain - By receiving the strain and testing your phages -
