I wish to find out from phage biologists on this platform what they would like to see in terms of metadata as a minimum for a characterised bacteriophage? Any comments can be sent to @AgendiaJuandem on twitter. Thanks

Apply to work on a CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) project in Marseille, France involving characterizing phages against phytopathogenic bacteria.

Dr. Ellie Jameson (University of Warwick) is hiring a postdoc research fellow for a project on phage cocktail development. Hurry - today is the application deadline!

Fernando Gordillo Altamirano (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues have published a new preprint on Acinetobacter baumannii phage resistance. They found that phage-resistant mutants were sensitive to complement, other phages, and an

A new Infection and Immunity minireview by Mihnea Mangalea and Breck Duerkop (University of Colorado) explores mechanisms and consequences of phage resistance.

Patrick Secor (University of Montana) and colleagues published a review on Pf phages and what we know so far about their impacts on Pseudomonas virulence, immunity and chronic infections.

Abul Tarafder (University of Oxford) and colleagues published a paper in PNAS showing how the phage Pf4 forms a sheath made of liquid crystalline droplets around its host, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which protects it from antibiotics and more.

Robert Schooley and Steffanie Strathdee wrote a commentary describing their take on the phage therapy case series published this month by the Iredell group, and on phage therapy as a field of growing importance. They consider this paper to

Registration and abstract submission is now open for Viruses of Microbes 2020, which will be hosted in Guimarães, Portugal July 13-17, 2020! P.S. Phage Directory is proud to have built the abstract submission and review system for this eve

This week, Julie Callanan, a PhD student at APC Microbiome Ireland and University College Cork, introduces us to RNA phages, why they're so elusive, and how her research is beginning to unravel their secrets. The delight of finding Wally am

What is the best way to search an assembled phage contig against human metagenome datasets? Regular blastn at NCBI doesn't seem to include these, do we have to download the data to search locally or is there an online resource? — @jason_j_g

Alexandra Petrovic Fabijan (Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Australia) and colleagues published their safe IV treatment of 13 critically-ill, septic patients with a GMP-prepared S. aureus phage cocktail in Nature Microbiology. Jon

Vivek Mutalik (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) and colleagues have published a new preprint on high-throughput mapping of the phage resistance landscape in E. coli. Through systematic, genome-wide loss-of-function and gain-of-function studi

Rogelio Rodriguez-Gonzalez (Georgia Institute of Technology) and colleagues published a new paper in mSystems on quantitative modeling of phage-antibiotic combination therapy. Their findings highlight the role of antibiotics and the immune

Mohammadali Khan Mirzaei (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and colleagues have shown that phages isolated from growth-stunted Bangladeshi children are different from those in non-stunted children. They show these phages are infectious i
