Thank you to everyone that joined us for our November PHAVES, which was a seminar by Prof. Julianne Grose (phage researcher) and Dr. Whitney Greene, DVM (veterinarian) talking about phage therapy for a sea turtle — watch the recording here!

JPIAMR (Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance) has awarded funding to multiple new phage-related projects in the One Health space! Funded phage projects include: - Use of phage applications to combat MRSA at the sow-pigle

Royal DSM, a Dutch nutrition, health and bioscience company, has released a one-hour phage testing kit

Viral egress via secretin pores in the bacterial host cell membrane reduces cell damage

Phage-encoded sigma factors alter bacterial dormancy

New ecological and genetic insights from studying viral communities of hot spring phototrophic microbial mats

Join us next week for the last PHAVES event of the year (#25!). There will be phages AND puppies! Dr. Stephanie Lynch of La Trobe University will share her recently completed PhD research on phage therapy for treating Staphylococcus pseudi
