We are urgently seeking Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Morganella morganii phages for a patient in Saudi Arabia. This is a multi-pathogen infection and would be the first phage therapy case in Saudi Arabia.

This week Marcin Lubocki and Piotr Tynecki explain how AI tools like PhageAI can help us characterize our phages faster and more accurately (but only with the help of the phage community!). ## The phage therapy perspective in the nearest fu

PhD project to study genomics of phage-host interactions in the Viral Ecology and Omics Group of Prof. Bas E. Dutilh in Jena, Germany.

Last month Madhav Madurantakam Royam and Jessica Neubauer attended Phage Futures Europe in Amsterdam, and they've brought us a sneak-peek into what they learned! The 6th annual Phage Futures conference was held on the 6th and 7th July 2022

Returning in-person for the first time since 2019, Phage Futures: USA is back — taking place November 16-17 in Boston, we’re bringing together 170+ leaders in the phage community to accelerate the translation of bacteriophage research into
