The International Society of Viruses of Microorganisms (ISVM) is calling for applications to organize the Viruses of Microbes (VoM) 2026 conference. Interested ISVM members should submit their applications by April 30, 2024, to board@isvm.

Only 4 months remain until the Viruses of Microbes 2024 Meeting takes place (July 15-19, 2024). Phage researchers are encouraged to confirm their participation early to plan for the trip down under!

The International Society of Microbiota will host their 11th Annual Meeting, Targeting Microbiota, on October 17-18 at the Corinthia Palace Malta, to explore the role of microbiota in health and disease, advancements in microbiome medicine,

Cytophage partnered with Dr. Marisa Azad at The Ottawa Hospital to deliver the first phage therapy in Canada for a patient with a severe hardware-associated joint infection. The phage treatment was produced by Cytophage, targeted Staphyloco

Intralytix has received Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification for food manufacturing, becoming the only phage company to attain such recognition.

Pramalkumar Patel (University of Toronto) and colleagues uncovered a novel anti-phage defence mechanism, where the P. aeruginosa prophage protein Tab blocks phage tail assembly, preventing formation of infectious virions.

Ryan Cook (Quadram Institute) and colleagues published a paper on benchmarking viromics using Illumina, Nanopore and PacBio. They constructed a mock phage community and used it to compare effectiveness of different sequencing technologies.

Jose L Figueroa (North Carolina Research Center) and colleagues published a new tool, MetaCerberus, a massively parallel, fast, low memory, scalable annotation tool for gene function inference across the tree of life (including phages!). Th
