Hollyn Franklin (Virginia Tech) and colleagues published a new paper on a phage-conditional mouse model, showing acriflavine can deplete gut phages without significantly impacting bacteria, allowing study of phage impacts in conventionally

Eugen Pfeifer (Jouy-en-Josas, France) is hiring a PhD student to study phages in the human gut using molecular biology and metagenomics.

June Round (University of Utah) is seeking a postdoc to study phages in commensal populations of Clostridium.

Phages are abundant in the gut, but few have been isolated and studied. Andrew Hryckowian (Stanford University) and colleagues published a new preprint reporting the genomes of 27 Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron phages. By looking at host trop

Mohammadali Khan Mirzaei (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and colleagues have shown that phages isolated from growth-stunted Bangladeshi children are different from those in non-stunted children. They show these phages are infectious i

Aurélie Mathieu (Université Paris-Saclay) and colleagues have published an exciting new paper in Nature Communications: they isolated 150 E. coli phages from fecal samples from 1-year-old infants. Then they analyzed the host range of the ph

Lance Boling (SDSU) and colleagues tested 117 consumable compounds (like toothpaste, Stevia, aspartame) for their ability to induce prophages from four bacterial species. They found that certain compounds induced prophages (some in a specie
