Jolien Onsea and colleagues from KU Leuven, University Hospitals Leuven, and the Queen Astrid Military Hospital in Belgium successfully used phage therapy to treat four patients with severe musculoskeletal infections. Importantly, the autho

I am looking for jobs in the phage research field. I have almost fifteen years’ experience in phage research particularly on phage genomics and phage therapy in animal, insect and plant models. I have developed a phage based product. It is

Wolbachia are bacteria that are transmitted among female arthropods, sometimes killing males of their hosts. Jessamyn Perlmutter of Vanderbilt University and colleagues have shown that a single Wolbachia prophage gene may be responsible for

Are you a company or lab that needs to produce phages in high quantities? This week, Craig Loftus of Cellexus tells us about how their CellMaker system can help you get higher phage titres in less time and with less cleaning. ## Optimizing

At the end of 2018, Phage Directory helped coordinate a phage sourcing effort on behalf of a patient in Helsinki. More than 10 labs around the world sent or tested around 200 phages. As of today, some of the results of this effort have been

I am Ritam Das, a third year undergraduate student studying Life Sciences at Acharya Narendra Dev College, University of Delhi. I’ve been actively working at the Anti-Mycobacterial Drug Discovery Lab of our college under the guidance of Dr.

I am Uchenna Precious Nnadi, a graduate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I am looking for a graduate mentor that will accept to supervise me to develop into a fantastic phage researcher and to provide impactful

Hoping to get some really cool #TEM images of cool #phages infecting #bacteria really soon. Anyone have any advice on imaging a phage infection? — @MotherOfPhage | Tweet thread

Anyone inoculate their samples for enriched isolation of phage with multiple hosts to save resources? —@BryanGibb2 | Tweet thread

Next week (Wed-Thurs; Sept 25-26), we'll be at the Phage Futures EU conference in Brussels, and we won't release a Capsid & Tail issue. Instead, we'll be hosting Phage Futures Live on our site. Tune in to keep up to date with the conference

Kevin Forsberg (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) and colleagues have published a new paper in eLife on a high-throughput method to find new phage-encoded anti-CRISPR proteins. The method involves expressing gene fragments from human

Armata Pharmaceuticals has developed a new synthetic phage candidate targeting P. aeruginosa to treat serious respiratory infections, with an emphasis on cystic fibrosis patients. The cocktail, a mixture of synthetic and natural phages, has

The Vellore Institute of Technology School of Bio Sciences and Technology and the Society for Bacteriophage Research and Therapy Ganga is hosting an International Conference on Bacteriophage Research and Antimicrobial Resistance (ICBRAMR-19

Bloomberg has done a podcast on phage therapy. In it, a patient who got a heart transplant thanks to phage therapy is interviewed, Steffanie Strathdee speaks about phage therapy-antibiotic synergy, and Martha Clokie talks about finding phag
