This week, we're highlighting a paper published by Shelley Gibson and colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine and the VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas. They've constructed and characterized phage libraries against three pathogens, and m

Karen Weynberg and Paul Jaschke of the University of Queensland and Macquarie University in Australia have published a perspective on how high-throughput phage engineering could be accomplished using biofoundries, core facilities that enabl

In collaboration with researchers at Brunel University London, a new UK synthetic biology company called CC Bio is developing phage lysins to target bacterial vaginosis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis. They've just received £250,000 in fund

Ushanandini Mohanraj (University of Helsinki) and colleagues have published a paper showing a screen they've developed to identify hypothetical phage proteins with antibacterial activity. They've used it to identify four Yersinia phage prot

Mainstream news outlets are covering antibiotic resistance as a result of the two major antibiotic resistance reports just released (which we covered last week). CBS News gets into why the system for antimicrobial development is broken. Glo

Gabriel Almeida (University of Jyvaskyla, Finland) and colleagues have published a paper showing that phages of the fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare bind to mucus, providing new support for the 'bacteriophage adherence to mucus' (BAM)

The PHE Culture Collections is a Biological Resource Centre that provides a service maintaining and supplying strains of cultured cells and microorganisms for public health research. It is structured as a fully integrated service, underpinn

Bacteriophages often carry auxiliary metabolic genes that are used by the phage to augment host metabolism to maximise phage replication. These genes often overcome metabolic bottlenecks encountered by their bacterial hosts and point toward

This project is aimed at evaluating the use of bacteriophage to treat Staphyloccocus aureus colonization and/or disease in order to better combat multi-antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. A major goal of this project is to establish a

Felix Biotechnology is a new phage company using phages to target antibiotic resistant bacteria based on their mechanism of antibiotic resistance (working with Yale University). They just won this year's Falling Walls Venture competition in
