Michelle Bach (Stanford University) and colleagues published a new preprint on how the filamentous phage Pf (present in 69% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa wounds) delays healing of P. aeruginosa-infected wounds by provoking an anti-phage immune

Przemysław Decewicz (University of Warsaw, Poland) and colleagues have isolated two virulent phages infecting Ochrobactrum spp. for the first time. The host, due to its extensive repertoire of enzymatic properties, is a key player in the bi

Adair Borges and colleagues from the Bondy-Denomy lab at UCSF have published a paper discussing how Pseudomonas aeruginosa host factors, previously characterized for their role in alginate biosynthesis, affect its Type I-F CRISPR–Cas system

Cédric Lood (KU Leuven) and colleagues published a new paper on jumbo phage-host interactions: they used an integrative omics approach (hybrid sequencing, RNAseq, and mass spectrometry) to look at Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PA5oct and its

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!).

Przemysław Decewicz (University of Warsaw, Poland) and colleagues have isolated two virulent phages infecting Ochrobactrum spp. for the first time. The host, due to its extensive repertoire of enzymatic properties, is a key player in the bi

From Elizabeth McDaniel, via Twitter: There’s a lot of interest right now for learning bioinformatics skills while lab research is suspended and everybody is working from home. I wanted to share free resources for learning coding basics and

From Karen Maxwell, via Twitter: #phage community - which phage is most SARS-CoV2 like? Seems like many assays for inactivation, etc could be widely performed and then translated. Who has stocks???

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's Environmental Genomics & Systems Biology Division has an opening for a postdoc position that will develop and apply mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis methods to understand viral reprogramming of m

A postdoc position focusing on studying the role of phages in the gut microbiota and engineering them for therapeutic function is available in the lab of Dr. Bryan Hsu at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA).

A Senior Associate Scientist position is open with Pfizer working on the isolation and optimization of antibodies using phage display.

On account of the current situation of worldwide spreading coronavirus SARS-CoV2, the organising committee might have to consider post-postponing Viruses of Microbes 2020, initially planned to take place on the 13-17 July. However, due to t
