David Sáez Moreno (PhagoMed) and colleagues published a new paper on naturally-bred 'ε2-phages'. They used the Appelman's protocol to train S. aureus phages to massively broaden host range and increase virulence. Surprisingly, they showed t

Łukasz Richter (Polish Academy of Sciences) and colleagues published a new paper in Scientific Reports looking at phage adsorption to polypropylene labware and the effects this could have on phage research reproducibility.

Marion Bichet (Monash University) and colleagues published a new paper in IScience showing that phage uptake by mammalian cell layers represents a potential sink that may impact phage therapy. Check out Jeremy Barr's Tweet thread on the pap

Abbas Soleimani-Delfan (University of Isfahan) and colleagues published a new paper in Journal of Virological Methods showing a rapid new method for phage genomic DNA extraction.

Sean Carim (UC Berkeley) and colleagues published a new paper in The ISME Journal on their systematic discovery of pseudomonad genetic factors involved in sensitivity to tailocins ('headless phages'!). Read also this SciTechDaily article th

We are excited to announce that we are holding a forum on Phage Therapy in the United Kingdom on the 22nd of April, 2pm-6pm BST. This event will be focussed on planning the pathway to phage therapy in UK, starting with testing phage therap

Join us April 13 at 4PM CEST for PHAVES #14, which will be a seminar with Dr. Clara Torres-Barceló (Plant Pathology Unit, INRAE, Avignon, France) entitled: "Jack of all strains, master of none? Host range and efficacy in phages of a phytopa

We're excited to announce that we're starting a new stream of PHAVES, running parallel to our researcher-focused series. The new series will focus on phage therapy in the clinic. We'll be featuring clinicians who have treated patients with

Fixed Phage, a Glasgow-based phage biotech company commercialising phage immobilisation and stabilisation-based technology, has secured £2.4 million to scale up its fight against new microbial threats that pose risks to human health and agr

PBD Biotech has secured a £2.3m investment to take Actiphage®, a rapid, accurate phage-based bovine TB test through to validation by the World Organisation for Animal Health. This test has potential to enable farmers to effectively remove T

James Doub (University of Maryland School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in Pharmaceuticals on their successful treatment of a recalcitrant Staphylococcus epidermidis prosthetic knee infection with intraoperative phage th

Eleanor Townsend (University of Warwick) and colleagues published a new paper in PHAGE describing the isolation and characterization of 30 novel, genetically diverse Klebsiella phages.

The Center for Phage Technology has published CPT-GFFParser, an extensively featured Python parser for GFF format reading/writing developed by the CPT bioinformatics team (main author Anthony Criscione). It's now available as a python packa
