Eligo Bioscience announced that the U.S. FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease designation for EB003, their oral drug candidate for the treatment of Shiga-toxin producing bacterial infection.

John M. Eppley (University of the West of England) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS entitled Marine viral particles reveal an expansive repertoire of phage-parasitizing mobile elements. They found that marine phage satellites ar

Frank Oechslin and colleagues published a paper in PLOS Biology entitled Phage endolysins are adapted to specific hosts and are evolutionarily dynamic. Using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, the authors found that phage endolysins could adapt to

Fengjuan Tian et al. (IME Research Institute, China) published a new paper in Virus Research entitled Molecular dissection of the first Staphylococcus cohnii temperate phage IME1354_01.

In a new study published in Cell, researchers led by Eran Elinav (Weizmann Institute of Science) show that combination phage therapy can be used to target Klebsiella pneumoniae strains associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Rima Fanaei Pirlar et al. published a new paper in Pharmaceutics, where they characterized a new phage, CUB19, which shows potent antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.

I'm very happy to share that our new project entitled "SUPPLY: SUperfast Photonic detection of Phage LYsis" has been granted ~1.3 Millions by the FNS-ANR in the last Lead Agency call. I'm very excited to start this four-year collaboration w
