Rand and colleagues present Phage DisCo (phage discovery by co-culture) in mSystems: bacterial strains that are isogenic except for fluorescent tags and one perturbation expected to affect phage infection are co-cultured on the same screeni

Review by Feng et al. in Precision Clinical Medicine on the human gut virome, 90%-95% of which is phages. It examines how the virome develops and how diet, environment, host genetics and immunity shape it, its associations with various dise

Report from the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Development Hub, published 26 May 2025, on advancing the evidence for using bacteriophages against antimicrobial resistance under a One Heal

Hello phage community! 😃 We’re looking for a T-series E. coli K-12 phage (e.g., T2, T4, T7) engineered to express a red fluorescent protein (e.g., mCherry) fused to a capsid or tail protein — to track intact virions by microscopy. No induc

Bio Lab in Korea is currently seeking Paenibacillus relictisesami phages and Lysinibacillus macroides phages. If you have access to these phages and are willing to share them, please get in touch. We would greatly appreciate your support.

Another successful phage therapy clinical trial! Armata Pharmaceuticals and colleagues has announced positive topline results from its Phase 1b/2a trial of AP-SA02 for S. aureus bacteremia.

Lukeman Kharrat (San Diego State University) and colleagues published a new paper on phage immunogenicity assessment, showing a novel Bacteriophage Risk Index to predict CpG-mediated immune activation potential of phages and guide selection

There’s a lot of improvement we can engineer into phages! Phil Huss (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and colleagues published a new paper on engineering phages using metagenomic data, showing how deep mining of metagenomic motifs can be us

David Sünderhauf (University of Exeter) and colleagues published a new paper on CRISPR-Cas in plasmid competition, showing CRISPR-Cas benefits plasmids defensively but is limited by competitor toxin-antitoxin systems when horizontally trans

Chase Morgan (University of California San Diego), Haley Atkins (Loyola University Chicago) and colleagues published a new review on phage therapy for urinary tract infections, showing phage therapy for this indication is promising, but nee

Adams and colleagues report in Nature Microbiology that the two genetic signatures defining the West African–South American (WASA) lineage of Vibrio cholerae, responsible for the 1991-2001 Latin American cholera epidemic, encode multiple an

The European Commission’s 2025 call sought multicentre, multinational randomised trials of phage therapies for difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, alone or alongside standard care. The call is closed; its deadline was September 16, 202

She et al. retrieved 5,178 viral sequences encoding 12 Salmonella enterica virulence genes from the IMG/VR database and compared them with 466,136 S. enterica genomes from EnteroBase. Virulence genes including iacP, mgtB, misL and fliC were

Armata Pharmaceuticals reported positive topline results from its randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1b/2a diSArm trial (n=50) of intravenous multi-phage therapeutic AP-SA02 plus best available antibiotic therapy in complicated Staphyloco

Among the millions of papers published each year, how can you make sure you never touch another irrelevant paper? I’ve never been particularly fast at reading papers. Usually, just skimming a research paper takes me about an hour. Reading a
