Amelia McKitterick and Sian Owen, Boston, Massachussetts Calling all phage enthusiasts in the Boston area! @implosian and I want to organize a meetup with other Boston phage peeps to share ideas and network etc. Trying to gauge interest, so

Jeffrey Carey (University of Pennsylvania) and colleagues have shown that a temperate E. coli phage reprograms its host's regulation of an anaerobic respiratory system. They found that the prophage disables the bet-hedging strategy that aid

We’ve been publishing Capsid & Tail for a year now, and while some of you have been here since the early days, we know many of you have found us relatively recently. So this week, we’ve gone through our archive to dig up some of our favouri

We collectively don’t know much about how phages work in cocktails, or how best to optimize phage therapy when multiple phages are combined. Rosanna Wright (University of York) and colleagues have shown, using P. aeruginosa and pairs of pha

Marta Lourenço (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues have published a preprint on how inaccessible sites in the mouse gut mucosa serve as a spatial refuge for bacteria, limiting phage predation, and leading to phage-bacterial coexistence that i

There’s been lots of talk recently about communication between virus-infected bacterial cells, but it’s actually an old phenomenon. Stephen Abedon (Ohio State University) has published a new review on the history of lysis inhibition, “the G

PhagoMed has announced it will develop a phage lysin for bacterial vaginosis (targeting Gardnerella vaginalis). This means the company is extending its portfolio, as prior to this it was only working on complete phages. Press Release | News
