The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop a cell-free expression system for rapid and cost-effective host-independent production of therapeutic and engineered phages for multidrug-resistant bacteria

Fixed Phage is building platforms to enable phage immobilisation and stabilisation, to expedite commercialisation of phages to safeguard animal and human health. They are hiring a Laboratory Scientist (microbiologist) to join their team in

University of Exeter is recruiting a PhD student for a project that combines classical microbiology, microbial genetics and single cell microscopy to determine how bacterial defences evolve, and how they shape the spread of antimicrobial re

The NIH's National Library of Medicine is hiring a postdoctoral fellow in the area of bioinformatics and data science. Several projects are currently available including 1) identifying and characterizing microbial gene clusters of interest;

From the Phagebiotics Research Foundation: Greetings Phage friends! The 25th biennial International Evergreen Phage Meeting is set to kick off in person, in full Evergreen fashion, with Dr. Betty Kutter at the Evergreen State College. Mar

In a talk entitled “Bacteriophage Therapy: From Soviet Clinical Experience to Current Activities at the Eliava Institute”, Dr. Mzia Kutateladze (Eliava Institute of Bacteriophage, Georgia) will present her latest research at the Targeting P

Erytech (a red blood cell-based therapeutics company) and Pherecydes (a phage therapy company) will merge to form a new company, whose name is yet to be disclosed, and redirect Erytech's financial resources, people and network toward Pherec

The Japanese government is moving forward with a pull incentive for developing new antibiotics, called the Antimicrobial Securement Project. According to CARB-X's director, Kevin Outterson, this is a revenue guarantee pull incentive, akin t

In a new Nature Microbiology paper, Jan Wohlfarth (ETH Zurich) and colleagues show that Listeria and Enterococcus can evade phage predation by transient conversion to a cell wall-deficient L-form state, which is triggered by endolysins disi

A subset of jumbo phages have recently been shown to encode a 'phage nucleus' for sequestering the phage genome away from host nucleolytic attack. Eliza Nieweglowska (University of California, San Francisco) and colleagues published a new p

In a new paper in Cell Reports, Beatriz Beamud (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and colleagues report on their study of the genetic determinants of host tropism in Klebsiella phages. They isolated 46 phages to challenge 138 representativ
