A portable library of solid tablets, each encapsulating one phage with luciferin and luciferase stabilized in a pullulan-trehalose sugar matrix, detects phage-mediated ATP release as light when bacterial cells burst. The platform identified

Researchers: want to help develop a phage-based TB diagnostic? Consider sharing samples from previous studies with the team at PDB Biotech. Dr. Timothy Rodwell’s lab at UCSD has already donated over 2,000 frozen PBMC samples for this work,

Researchers at the University of Minho and partner institutions show that synthetic M13 phages displaying Aβ-derived peptides bind preferentially to amyloid-β oligomers. In hippocampus tissue from APP/PS1 transgenic mice the phages detected

Singapore University of Technology and Design researchers combined M13-conjugated polyethylene glycol with tungsten disulfide nanosheets to build a Phage-based Digital Biomolecular Sensor (P-DBS) for MCF-7 cancer cells. The sensor reached a

Susanne Meile, Jiemin Du (ETH Zurich) and colleagues have published a new paper on engineered reporter phages for detection of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, and Klebsiella in urine.

ETH Zurich researchers genetically engineered two virulent phages per uropathogen (E. coli, Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp.) to express a nanoluciferase reporter on infection and tested the bioluminescence assay on 206 patient urine samp

I'm very happy to share that our new project entitled "SUPPLY: SUperfast Photonic detection of Phage LYsis" has been granted ~1.3 Millions by the FNS-ANR in the last Lead Agency call. I'm very excited to start this four-year collaboration w

Most tests for Lyme Disease detect antibodies, which are often not present until weeks after infection by the causative pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi. Jinyu Shan (University of Leicester) published a new paper in Frontiers in Microbiology

Tolulope Oduselu (Ibadan Bacteriophage Research Team, University of Ibadan) and colleagues recently published their second review article entitled "Expanding the Frontiers of Bacterial Diagnosis through Bacteriophage Biotechnology". They re

Katja Šuster (Valdoltra Orthopaedic Hospital, Slovenia) and colleagues published a new paper in The New Microbiologica describing their use of phage K to speed up Staphylococcus detection in prosthetic joint fluid.

Yoon Hwang of the Naval Medical Research Unit in San Antonio received the Dr. Delores M. Etter Top Scientists and Engineers of the Year Award for his research into the development of a handheld device that uses phages to detect and identify

A 2020 paper in PHAGE evaluates methods for processing sputum from patients with cystic fibrosis to detect Pf bacteriophage virion-derived nucleic acid, testing the effect of bead beating, DNase digestion and heating steps and quantifying P

The De Buck Laboratory (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary) is recruiting an MSc or PhD student, starting September 2026 or earlier, to develop a rapid, PCR-free, on-farm phage-based diagnostic for Johne’s disease using m
