Steven Swift (Beltsville Agricultural Research Center) and colleagues have engineered a chimeric phage lysin that lyses Clostridium perfringens, an important poultry pathogen. They fused the cell wall binding domain of a C. perfringens phag

Phages were successfully used to treat a 41-year old's cardiac infection, which involved a cardiac implantable electronic device and aortic graft, at the German Heart Center Berlin in Berlin, Germany.

Ushanandini Mohanraj (University of Helsinki) and colleagues have published a paper showing a screen they've developed to identify hypothetical phage proteins with antibacterial activity. They've used it to identify four Yersinia phage prot

Gabriel Almeida (University of Jyvaskyla, Finland) and colleagues have published a paper showing that phages of the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare bind to mucus, providing new support for the 'bacteriophage adherence to mucus' (BAM)

Yi Duan (UCSD) and colleagues have published an incredibly exciting paper showing that cytotoxin-secreting Enterococcus faecalis in the mouse gut is a cause of alcohol-induced liver disease in mice. Most excitingly, they used phages to targ

Shelley Gibson (Baylor College of Medicine) and colleagues have published a paper describing the generation of phage libraries against three pathogens: E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae. They've characterized the phages system

Have you heard about how phages have their own parasites? Here's a great tweet thread by Kim Seed of UC Berkeley explaining two new papers from her lab! The papers focus on understanding V. cholerae phage interactions with PLEs, phage-induc

Why do bacteria evolve CRISPR-based phage resistance in natural environments, while in the lab, they seem to more readily evolve receptor-based resistance? Ellinor Alseth (University of Exeter) and colleagues have published a new paper digg

Engineering phages is getting more popular; here's another breakthrough in phage synthetic biology! Matthew Dunne (ETH Zurich) and colleagues have developed several approaches for engineering phages targeting Gram-positive pathogens (using

Is lyophilization a good way to store phages? Prasanth Manohar and Nachimuthu Ramesh (Vellore Institute of Technology) tested lyophilization conditions for three phages (an Escherichia phage, a Klebsiella phage and an Enterobacter phage) us
