Congratulations to Jesca Nakavuma and her team of phage researchers in Uganda for winning an $800,000 grant from the African Union. The grant will support their development of phage products combating antibiotic resistant bacteria in fish.

A perspective on phage therapy as an anti-superbug option in India.

The UK government is making some new plans to tackle antibiotic resistance, including new incentives for pharma.

Anushila Chatterjee and colleagues published a new preprint showing that phage resistance in enterococci leads to reduced antibiotic resistance and reduced mouse gut colonization.
