Task [590a] A researcher is exploring the possibility of using selected phages (instead of anti-bodies) to detect COVID-19 antigens in ELISA. Phages have been used earlier for ELISA with the advantage of lower cost, ease of production and g

This Science news article talks about COVID-related increases in antibiotic use, possible impacts on AMR, and mentions a multicenter US Department of Defense study that will look into secondary infections and antibiotic use in COVID patient

University of Waterloo researchers are working toward a phage-delivered COVID vaccine. The vaccine is designed to both produce virus-like particles that will stimulate an anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune response, and also to bind to SARS-CoV-2 recep

The phage community may have a key role to play in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Patients hospitalized with respiratory viruses including flu and this current coronavirus get bacterial co-infections, and these co-infections correlate with mo

Jennifer Sun, a postdoc from the Bassler lab at Princeton, writes about how our knowledge of phage biology could aid our approach to tackle COVID-19.

Milan Bunata, MB Pharma Hi everyone, has your phage activities been affected by the COVID situation? If so, how? Fortunately, we are still 100% working, but not knowing if we are the only one? Or one of few? What is your situation? bunata@m

Ella Balasa, one of our guest writers and volunteers, and former phage therapy recipient, has written about what it's like being at high risk for COVID-19; a very sobering read (though it ends on a positive note!).
