I am working on isolation and characterisation of marine phages for anti-bio fouling activity. Our lab has assessed the influence of chlorine on different marine microorganisms as well as barnacles, and now we are looking into use of marine

This week, Dr. Atunga Nyachieo and Ivy Mutai of the Institute of Primate Research in Nairobi, Kenya tell us about how phage research training began at their institute in 2017, how it continues to grow, and the impact it's had so far. The es

John Rex, MD (Chief Medical Officer for Wellcome Trust) has written a blog post about a new paper published by Ursula Theuretzbacher and colleagues on the global pre-clinical pipeline for antibacterials. It shows that as of May 2019, 33/407

Steven Swift (Beltsville Agricultural Research Center) and colleagues have engineered a chimeric phage lysin that lyses Clostridium perfringens, an important poultry pathogen. They fused the cell wall binding domain of a C. perfringens phag

Several new phage therapy reviews are out: one on the pharmacological limitations of phage therapy by Anders Nilsson, one on promises and pitfalls of in vivo evolution to improve phage therapy by James Bull and colleagues, and one on explor

Phages were successfully used to treat a 41-year old's cardiac infection, which involved a cardiac implantable electronic device and aortic graft, at the German Heart Center Berlin in Berlin, Germany.
