A University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine team led by Breck Duerkop has spent 15 years compiling a library of phages against stubborn gut bacteria, mainly Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium: more than 30 phages infecting entero

Veterinarians at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut and the University of Florida treated Jetta, an 11-year-old beluga with chronic pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant E. coli, with bacteriophages chosen for her strain, delivered partly thr

University of Wisconsin–Madison biochemists led by Vatsan Raman built an AI model that identifies phage mutations with the greatest potential to improve targeting and killing of bacteria. In laboratory tests, phages carrying AI-suggested mu

Claude helped identify array-associated reverse transcriptases (ART), an enzyme system found mainly in bacteriophages. Early laboratory work is described in a preprint; the system’s biological function remains unknown. Anthropic

Armata Pharmaceuticals has received an additional $3.7 million in non-dilutive funds from the U.S. Department of War to support the Phase 3 programme of AP-SA02, its phage cocktail for complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. It is the
