Protocol: An optimized and high yielding protocol for isolation and amplification of phages against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Our lovely phage community would not exist without the hard work of some incredible phage enthusiasts! This week, we're recognizing a few of our Phage Directory volunteers for some great stuff they've done lately. Did you know that Capsid &

Research Assistant at Institut Cochin, Paris to work on a project (24-month contract) entitled "Characterisation of bacteria survival strategies upon bacteriophage exposure at the single cell level" under the supervision of Dr. Anne Chevall

Postgraduate researcher at University of Glasgow to study host pathogen interactions in Pneumococcal infection. Areas of interest include bacteriophage and pathogenicity island genetics.

Need help with phage manufacturing, and looking for an outsourcing partner? JAFRAL manufactures phages to the highest quality and purity, and develops manufacturing processes and analytical methods for various phage types and phage applicat

Research Associate at the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology, University of Leicester. This post is funded by an industry award to isolate bacteriophages against Moraxella bovis strains associated with face flies and to carry out pro

Research Fellowship at the Center of Biological Engineering at the University of Minho in Portugal to work within the scope of the R&D project, PhageShaper — a high throughput platform to engineer P. aeruginosa phages for infectious disease

Postdoc at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to examine multikingdom relationships in environmental microbiomes, with a particular focus on phage/bacteria interactions.

Experimental Officer at the University of Leicester Cryo-EM Facility. There will be opportunities to collaborate internally on exciting structural biology projects ranging from transcriptional regulation to phage biology.

Is there any interest in anyone at looking at the gut microbiome of a very small arachnida to ID bacteria and associated phages? Please contact B. Bloetscher at bbloetscher@gmail.com.
