The Open Health Systems Colloquium and the International Bacteriophage Research Consortium will be hosting a lecture and panel discussion on "Charting a Path Toward Bacteriophage Therapy" on Nov. 19 from 6-8:30 PM at the India International

Edze Westra of the University of Exeter has been awarded the 2020 Fleming Prize from the Microbiology Society for his work on CRISPR-CAS molecular mechanisms and evolutionary ecology. This award is the oldest prize awarded by the Microbiolo

BiomX just presented preclinical data on its development of a phage cocktail active against Klebsiella pneumoniae strains correlated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) severity. PSC is a liver disease with no FDA-approved treatment t

Diane Shader Smith wrote a beautiful article commemorating the two-year anniversary of her daughter Mallory’s passing. Mallory passed away due to drug-resistant Burkholderia and cystic fibrosis. Diane remarks that Mallory's legacy lives on

One of Intralytix's phage products, EcoShield (which targets E. coli O157:H7), has been approved by the FDA to be used more broadly. Now it can be used on ground beef (plus other meat cuts and on carcasses). Previously, it could only be use

Shelley Gibson (Baylor College of Medicine) and colleagues have published a paper describing the generation of phage libraries against three pathogens: E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae. They've characterized the phages system

Yi Duan (UCSD) and colleagues have published an incredibly exciting paper showing that cytotoxin-secreting Enterococcus faecalis in the mouse gut is a cause of alcohol-induced liver disease in mice. Most excitingly, they used phages to targ

Have you heard about how phages have their own parasites? Here's a great tweet thread by Kim Seed of UC Berkeley explaining two new papers from her lab! The papers focus on understanding V. cholerae phage interactions with PLEs, phage-induc

If you haven't read Elio Schaechter's blog, Small Things Considered, you should take a look. This week he wrote a lovely post on flagellotropic phages and how phages "lasso" their host by the flagella, then glide down to the base for infect

Here's a shameless plug: we wrote a textbook chapter for Bacteriophages: Biology, Technology, Therapy, and it came out this week! We focus on how countries new to phage therapy are making compassionate phage therapy work (hint: collaboratio

Krystyna Dąbrowska (Polish Academy of Sciences) and Stephen Abedon (Ohio State University) have published a review on what it means to do "pharmacologically aware" phage therapy, which takes into consideration the in vivo obstacles to phage

Armata Pharmaceuticals has addressed its shareholders with good news about how their company is progressing post-merger between C3J and AmpliPhi. The company also recently announced that it has received a Research and Development Tax Incent
