Emmanuel Nnadi, Plateau State University We have been attempting to get the titre of our phage but don't seem to know where we are getting it wrong. What's your preferred protocol? We use the double-layer plaque assay and a McFarlands stand

International Bacteriophage Research Consortium After having shared countless posts on bacteriophages and how they have helped patients survive the antibiotic resistant infections, very happy to announce the first public lecture that Intern

This week, we provide an overview of two major new antibiotic resistance reports: one from the US (CDC) and one from Canada. We provide a few takeaways, briefly compare the reports, and hope to inspire you to dive in to learn more about the

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

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

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

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

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

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
