45—Ronen paper Kleb phages

At the end of 2018, Phage Directory helped coordinate a phage sourcing effort on behalf of a patient in Helsinki. More than 10 labs around the world sent or tested around 200 phages. As of today, some of the results of this effort have been published! The paper describes the genomic characterization of two of the phages isolated for their ability to lyse the patient's isolate. The paper was coauthored by Ortal Yerushalmy and colleagues in Ronen Hazan's group at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and by members of Mikael Skurnik's group at the University of Helsinki.
