A new Canadian phage CRO, Qeen Bio is offering a variety of services including phage characterization, cell banking, fermentation, downstream processing, formulation, lab services for phage clinical trials, and regulatory consulting for pha

Erin Attrill (University of Exeter) and colleagues found that slow-growing E. coli cells survive phage T4 in isolation, but fast-growing cells survive when surrounded by their clonal kin cells.

Pedro Leao (University of Texas, Austin) and colleagues have determined that the Asgardarchaeota, a group of archaea related to eukaryotes, played important roles in the evolution of viral protection in eukaryotes.

Justin Leavitt (University of Utah) and colleagues report that the P22-encoded SieA protein is the only phage protein required for exclusion by the SieA system, blocking DNA injection by P22 and its relatives, but having no effect on infect

Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi found that Pediococcus inopinatus is generally dominant in Mukeunji, long-term fermented kimchi in the final stage of fermentation. Its genome has a well-developed CRISPR system with an extra cop

Medical-grade phage is now available for expanded access through Tolka.ai's waitlist, after a year of hard work by Johan Wikstrom, Keqing Li, Thomas Hunt, Volodymyr Kulchytskyi, and the broader phage community; phage researchers can learn m

Congrats to Vivek Mutalik and colleagues, who have received funding from the BRaVE initiative (US Dept of Energy) to expand their Phage Foundry, a platform for phage countermeasures against AMR pathogens.

Cytophage Technologies has announced a distribution agreement with a leading animal health company in South Asia. The initial product for distribution will be Cytophage’s FARMPHAGE (TM) formulation for the poultry industry.

Eray Enustun (UCSD) and colleagues have used proximity labeling and localization mapping to systematically map out the protein interaction network of the ‘phage nucleus’ made by jumbo phages.

Jens Hör (Weizmann Institute of Science) and colleagues have discovered that bacteria conjugate ubiquitin-like proteins to interfere with phage assembly.

Adaptive Phage Therapeutics is combating antibiotic resistance with phage therapy in a new film, Race Against Resistance debuting September 5, as they take viewers on a phage hunt through the zoo to find out where phages come from.

Antibiotics journal is inviting submissions for a special issue on "Phages and Their Derived Products as Novel Strategies to Combat Bacterial Infections", with submission deadline on 31 Dec 2023.

In a new episode of Phagecast, the hosts speak with Ben Burrowes, CEO of BB Phage Consultancy, known for his work on phage training, A.K.A. the Appleman’s protocol.

Franklin Nobrega’s phage team at the University of Southampton, UK have created KlebPhaCol, an open-source collection of 52 Klebsiella phages and 61 clinical strains with associated data, which is now available for scientists to request and

Jean-Paul Pirnay at the Queen Astrid Military Hospital and colleagues published a new preprint on their center's first 100 cases of personalized phage therapy. They report clinical improvement in 77% of cases, and eradication of the target

Sofia Dahlman (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues characterized 125 active prophages from 252 human gut bacterial isolates, revealing that temperate gut phages are prevalent, diverse, and predominantly inactive.
