Paris, France Eligo Bioscience (Paris, France) is hiring a Bacteriophage Formulation Scientist to tackle the ambitious challenges of ensuring phages and phage-derived particles can be delivered to particular microbiome sites of the human bo

Hi I'm Prathaban Munisamy (Ph.D., Microbiology), working as Assistant Professor, in a deemed University in Tamilnadu, India. Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt of India, has called India-Portugal joint proposal of research. I would li

Xiaolin Xiong (Wuhan University, China) and colleagues published their work on an unusual phosphorothioation-sensing bacterial defense system with broad anti-phage activities in Nature Microbiology.

A new study by Demeng Tan (Fudan University, China), Mads Frederik Hansen (Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Germany) and colleagues have shown that a Vibrio anguillarum prophage is controlled by quorum sensing and stimulat

Beatriz Osuna (UCSF) and colleagues published two new papers this week in Cell Host & Microbe: one on how Listeria phages protect their lysogenic genomes by inducing Cas9 degradation and the other detailing how a bifunctional Listeria phage

Derek Cerchione and colleagues at Editas Medicine in Cambridge have developed a new M13 phage-based directed-evolution strategy and a mutagenesis method called SMOOT to engineer Cas9 nuclease activity. They report the isolation of a Cas9 mu

Soumyananda Chakraborti (Jagiellonian University, Poland) and collaborators from Poland, UK and Canada report the characterization of NinH, encoded by bacteriophage lambda. NinH is the first example of a phage mimic of the bacterial Nucleoi

Andrea Rocker (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a study on how Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane porins affect its permeability to antibiotics. They suggest caution be taken when targeting this species and other car

Maryn McKenna wrote a new Wired piece on how the COVID crisis may worsen the AMR crisis. Within it, she links to a useful compendium of literature on secondary infections and AMR in the context of COVID-19, which was compiled by two researc

Here's a nice article on the 'age of bacteriophage' written by undergraduate students Muskan Gupta and Rohit Gokhale at Acharya Narendra Dev College in New Delhi. Included is some excellent phage art! This was written as part of an online t
