This week we introduced a new channel: #phage-manufacturing, for discussion of scale-up of phage preparations (challenges, opportunities, questions, helpful papers, etc). In March, we introduced a #covid-amr channel (read more about why he

Task [590a] A researcher is exploring the possibility of using selected phages (instead of anti-bodies) to detect COVID-19 antigens in ELISA. Phages have been used earlier for ELISA with the advantage of lower cost, ease of production and g

IPATH's quarterly newsletter is out (subscribe here); in it they discuss how an IPATH phage lab, the Pride Lab, is now doing COVID testing. They interview IPATH physician Saima Aslam about phage therapy, COVID, and life. They've also got li

I am Kübra CAN, I am working at Istanbul University of Medicine Turkey, I am looking a postdoc researcher position for one year about phages, especially European countries. I have strong experience about clinical microbiology, phage isolat

This week we introduced a new channel: #phage-manufacturing; come here to discuss anything related to scale-up of phage preparations (challenges, opportunities, questions, helpful papers, etc). In March, we introduced a #covid-amr channel

Phages for Global Health's newsletter is out (subscribe here). They announce they've acquired the funding for their first phage workshop in Asia, set to take place in Malaysia in November 2020 if the COVID situation allows.

Simon Roux (DOE Joint Genome Institute) and colleagues published a new preprint on diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs), which were first identified in a phage host recognition protein. They analyzed >30,000 metagenome-derived DGRs, an

This Science news article talks about COVID-related increases in antibiotic use, possible impacts on AMR, and mentions a multicenter US Department of Defense study that will look into secondary infections and antibiotic use in COVID patient

University of Waterloo researchers are working toward a phage-delivered COVID vaccine. The vaccine is designed to both produce virus-like particles that will stimulate an anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune response, and also to bind to SARS-CoV-2 recep

Catherine M. Loc-Carrillo, MSc, PhD Director, Micro-Phage Epi Laboratory Dear phageophiles – I’m hoping that one of you has or knows someone who has Pseudomonas phi6 (ATCC 21781-B1). I’m trying to get hold of this phage so I can use it as a

The phage community may have a key role to play in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Patients hospitalized with respiratory viruses including flu and this current coronavirus get bacterial co-infections, and these co-infections correlate with mo
