Katrina Black (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Australia) and colleagues published a new paper on resolving a T1-like bacteriophage outbreak, showing how targeted deletion of an LptD loop conferred resistance to the pha

Ruby Darwin, a PhD student in the University of Liverpool's Department of Infection Biology and Microbiomes, attended the two-day Targeting Phage Therapy 2025 conference virtually with IVES small grant funds. She highlights a first clinical

It's Phage Picks time! This week Jess picks another 'bread-and-butter' phage lab paper about how to keep your phages stable (genetically and physically) over the decades, and Jan surfaces a killer overview of all the ways phage + AI is happ

SNIPR Biome in Copenhagen is hiring a Research Assistant in Phage Engineering. The work will include basic phage science involving steps from isolation to thorough characterization of genome and phenotype, including comprehensive host range

The Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology (ITMP) in Munich, Germany is hiring a PhD student / researcher in protein engineering to produce, test, and optimize phage-derived binding proteins against pathogenic bact

You’re invited to submit an abstract to the inaugural Conference on Bacteriophages: Biology, Dynamics, and Therapeutics, chaired by Graham Hatfull (University of Pittsburgh) and Robert (Chip) Schooley (UCSD). Topics range from phage struct

Tolka AI Therapeutics has announced expanded access to patient-tailored phage therapy for M. abscessus infections. They're screening patients at five institutions for compassionate use where standard antibiotics have failed.

Proteon Pharmaceuticals (Łódź, Poland) shared that BAFASAL®, its phage-based feed additive for poultry, has received a majority vote from EU Member States, moving it closer to EU authorisation. Once finalized, it will become the first phage

Vida Štilec (University of Ljubljana) and colleagues published a new paper on high quality preparation and pharmacokinetics of S. epidermidis phage COP-80B in a mouse model. They saw that injection into the joint provided local phage presen

Taylor Andrews (Rutgers University) and colleagues published a new paper on re-expansion of host range in RNA phage phi6, showing specialized phi6 strains readily regained broader host ranges through both reversion and compensatory mutation

Ortal Yerushalmy (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and colleagues published a new paper on phage susceptibility diversity in CF Burkholderia isolates, showing mixed populations of phage-sensitive and phage-resistant Burkholderia in 75% of CF

Cristian Crisan (Emory University) and colleagues published a new paper on phages lysing cystic fibrosis S. maltophilia isolates, describing isolation both specialist and generalist phages that infect diverse S. maltophilia strains.

SNIPR Biome announced on June 12, 2025 that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 1b study of SNIPR001, an orally administered CRISPR-armed phage therapeutic that targets E. coli in the gut, in hematological cancer patients undergoi

A PNAS study isolated 66 phage escape mutants against 13 plasmid-encoded lactococcal antiphage systems and found 15 mutated genes, and proposes that the Audmula system modifies the host cell wall, delaying lysis and release of progeny phage

A team of authors from Israel and Portugal, including researchers from the Hadassah Medical Organization, tested the bacteriophage mixture TP-102 on 19 diabetic patients with infected and non-infected foot ulcers. TP-102 was safe and well t

"There's 145 components of the regulatory requirements that I don't fit in. So how do I get past that? And governments right now say, I don't know." "Phages are not drugs. Every time they say, 'Did you go through regulatory?' I say, 'I can

The Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology (ITMP) in Munich, Germany is hiring a PhD student / researcher in protein engineering to produce, test, and optimize phage-derived binding proteins against pathogenic bact

The World Health Organization published a new report on phage therapy evidence, showing phages can enhance antibiotic treatments against resistant bacteria as part of a One Health approach.

Alexander Harms was interviewed on the PhageCast podcast about the Basel Phage Collection, basic science insights from E. coli phages, and how these findings can predict phage traits.
