Krista Freeman (University of Pittsburgh) and colleagues have found that several mycobacteriophages have O-linked glycans, mediated by phage-encoded glycosyltransferases, which can alter antibody binding and recognition.

In a new preprint, Ritam Das and colleagues have systematically characterized the genomic characteristics, lifestyle, and potential therapeutic applications of ten B1 sub-cluster mycobacteriophages. They predicted the function of 55% of the

University of Leicester is seeking a PhD student to test the host range and properties of existing mycobacterial phages and isolate new phages against M. tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs, such as Mycobacterium abscessus)
