Sisi Lin (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) and colleagues published a new paper on coating phage-infected bacteria with polymers, showing this preserves phage vitality and improves therapeutic outcomes in mouse models of bacterial infection c

Sicelo Dlamini (University of Mpumalanga, South Africa) and colleagues studied how different encapsulation techniques affect phage viability and stability under simulated gastric conditions, and found that alginate–carrageenan-CaCO3 encapsu

Tejas Dharmaraj (Stanford University School of Medicine) and colleagues describe the use of dynamic light scattering to measure changes in phage physical state, finding that phages tend to decay and form aggregates, and that degree of aggre

A recent preprint by Michele Mutti and colleagues reveals that phage activity against Staphylococcus aureus is severely impaired in plasma and synovial fluid. Coagulation factors binding to the bacteria form clots that protect them from pha

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

A year ago on Twitter, Jeremy Barr (Monash University) shared a picture of several 40-year old phage stocks, and asked "what should we do with them?" People said 'check titre!' 'get WGS' and 'are they the same as the stock phages we've all
