Lytic selection and evolution (LySE) is a T7-based method for near-continuous directed evolution of bacterial gene clusters that keeps discrete checkpoints: a hypermutagenic T7 DNA polymerase mutates a target gene cluster carried on a T7 ph

Cytophage announced that Will Ollerhead resigned as a director effective April 29, 2026. Cytophage Technologies Ltd.

Tristan Ferry discusses PHAGEinLYON’s clinical experience with compassionate use and clinical trials in a talk hosted on Canal-U. Phages.fr on Canal-U

V-score and VL-score are annotation-free metrics that quantify the "virus-likeness" of protein families and genomes, released with an open-access searchable database, V-Score-Search. Applied to public protein databases they link 19-59% of p

A high-throughput droplet microfluidics platform co-encapsulates individual phages and bacteria to quantify single phage infection events, with control over exposure time and the phage-to-bacteria ratio. It measures lysis events and lysis k

The study links temperate-phage capsule specificity with diverse receptor-binding proteins, including classical depolymerases and SGNH-domain hydrolases predicted to deacetylate polysaccharides. The team also shared English and Polish comic

The fourth Japanese Phage Young Researchers’ Meeting was announced as a two-night residential gathering at the University Seminar House in Hachioji, July 29–31, 2026, for students and researchers within five years of completing a doctoral d

Large-scale comparative cell biology and biochemistry of 16 bacterial nuclease-NTPase antiphage defence systems shows that protein-protein complex formation is a shared feature. The nucleases of the Pa AbpAB, Bt Hachiman and Ec PD-T4-8 syst

“The thing everybody thinks is a tailwind for our space — the low financial barrier to get into a clinical trial — is actually one of the largest headwinds.” Paul has spent 35 years in biopharma, and he has a sharp take on why phage therapy

Researchers, students and professionals from multiple institutions took part in phage research training through a collaboration between TU-K and the Phage Hunters Training and Research Program. The programme combined online theory with hand

Cytophage announced that Chief Operating Officer Heather Medwick left the company effective March 31, 2026, as part of its corporate restructuring. Cytophage Technologies Ltd.

A perspective arguing that traditional bacteriophage methods measure population averages and miss variation between individual particles. It advocates optical microscopy and flow cytometry approaches that can reveal phenotypic heterogeneity

Chip Schooley (UC San Diego, IPATH) and Graham Hatfull (University of Pittsburgh) join us to discuss why phage therapy needs biologists and clinicians collaborating — and what the HIV field’s playbook can teach us. Topics covered: • Why the

The Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS (Living Materials group; project leader Dr hab. Jan Paczesny) recruited one full-time postdoctoral researcher for 12 months, with possible extension, on a National Science Centre (NCN) SHENG-4 project

The University at Buffalo reports clearance of a patient’s chronic MRSA infection following phage therapy alongside antibiotics and hip hardware replacement. Patrick Kenney’s team developed the patient-specific phage after years of recurren

McMaster University researchers report in mBio (published March 30, 2026) that Pseudomonas aeruginosa can evade phage attack by entering a temporary "stealth mode". Of 28 phage-resistant mutants studied, one regained full pili function in a

Avir Mitra explores antibiotic resistance in this Radiolab live-show episode. The episode page also links to a bacteriophage deep dive with Mitra and Steffanie Strathdee, plus a recording of the live show and bonus Q&A. Radiolab

Terlizzi and colleagues report a systematic review in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases of phage therapy in cystic fibrosis: 19 studies covering 51 patients and 52 phage treatment courses, mostly against Pseudomonas aeruginos

VirHost Hunter uses phage tails and lysins with protein language models and vision transformers to assign hosts without requiring complete phage genomes. High-resolution phage-host assignment through key proteins using large language models

Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil’s São Paulo and Espírito Santo agencies jointly supported research and knowledge transfer on antimicrobial resistance in intensive food-animal production. Projects could run up to 24 months, with agen
