PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research Journal has announced an impact factor increase to 3.5.

A recent episode of BBC Sounds' "In Our Time" interviewed Martha Clokie and James Ebdon about how phages can be used to track and cure bacterial illnesses.

Chantel Trost (University of Toronto) and colleagues found that the anti-CRISPR protein AcrIF25 disrupts the type I-F CRISPR-Cas system by pulling apart Cas7 from its guide RNA, one subunit at a time. (And it does this with no apparent enzy

Dinesh Subedi (Monash University) and colleagues have developed a five-phage cocktail, Entelli-02 against 156 clinical Enterobacter cloacae complex strains from the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. They show that Entelli-02 exhibits broad host

Hadil Onallah (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and colleagues have laid out a step-by-step protocol for compassionate phage therapy outlining phage matching, treatment, and monitoring for non-resolving infections.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)-induced diarrhea in piglets can lead to weight loss and death. Michela Gambino (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues characterized a collection of phages infecting porcine ETEC, and a collection o

For this month, we found some super interesting phage papers, heard about phage-vectored vaccine production, and more! Hey everyone, Summer is finally here! But as you know, Jess and I moved to San Francisco, and “summer” is mostly indisti

DARPA seeks a Program Manager to lead and manage high-risk, high-reward research programs in emerging technologies. (*We need more phage people in these roles! Plus you get to work with Mike Koeris!)

Evergreen 2025 is happening, and for the first time in its 50-year history, we're taking it on the road! Register for the 26th Biennial Evergreen International Phage Meeting, which will be held August 3-8, 2025, at the University of Tennes

The Integrative Viromics Lab (University of Calgary) has openings for 2 graduate students to study the human virome's impact on health and disease (including the vulture virome!), using systems biology and experimental approaches.

University of Leicester has an open PhD position to characterize the immunogenic potential of therapeutic phages.

The Phage Bioinformatics Wish List Survey is live! (Thanks to the 31 respondents to date! The data is shaping up to be super informative!) This survey aims to better understand the needs and satisfaction levels of phage biologists regardi
