Michelle Yang How are strain B and UPEC strains of E. coli similar? How do you select phages for a phage cocktail? Please email me at yang94m@gmail.com.

This week we highlight a recent paper on using phage therapy to treat severe musculoskeletal infections (osteomyelitis). A multidisciplinary group in Belgium made up of surgeons, infectious disease physicians, pharmacists, microbiologists a

Dr. Evelien Adriaenssens We are recruiting a student at the Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB) on the role phages play in the establishment of the gut microbiota, particularly focused on beneficial bifidobacteria. The student will join the

Dr. Evelien Adriaenssens The Adriaenssens group at the Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB), in collaboration with the School of Computing Sciences at the University of East Anglia, is looking to recruit a PhD student on a fully funded projec

It's Capsid & Tail's one-year anniversary this week! We sent out our first issue on Oct 18, 2018. Since then, we've published 48 issues, including 13 guest articles (authored by 23 guest authors). We've grown to over 600 subscribers, with a

We've been talking about NIAID's new request for applications for phage research; here's the complete funding opportunity announcement. This is an R21 grant mechanism (no clinical trials allowed). NIAID intends to commit $2.5 million in FY

New research by Andrey Shkoporov and colleagues at APC Microbiome in Ireland has shown using longitudinal metagenomics that the human gut virome is actually very stable in individuals, but that each individual tested had their own unique vi

Siobhán O'Brien of the University of Liverpool and colleagues published a paper showing how transposable prophages lead to P. aeruginosa adaptation. They alter iron availability to show that transposable prophages cause P. aeruginosa to evo

Check out this new podcast interview (The Life Scientific, by BBC Radio 4) with Martha Clokie, a University of Leicester phage professor. She talks about how her interests in botany as a child turned into interests in phages. This is a grea

Scientific American magazine just published a nice feature on where phage therapy is at today: great storytelling, nice visuals, plus input from several phage researchers on where phage therapy is going.
