Hayley Nordstrom (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) and colleagues published a preprint showing genomic and functional characterization of P. aeruginosa-targeting phages isolated from hospital wastewater. They used a panel of clinical isolates (most from people with CF) to isolate over a dozen phages from hospital wastewater, characterized the isolates, the phages, and phage-resistant mutants, and got tons of new functional genomics insights!
