A research group at McMaster University led by Dr. Zeinab Hosseini-Doust has gotten phages to a high enough concentration to create a solid gel matrix. The phages self-assemble, and are still active against their bacterial host in this form

Benjamin Thuronyi and colleagues from the Broad Institute and Harvard have developed a way to use phage-assisted continuous evolution to evolve better base editors for gene editing.

The Danish project TOPSAFE (Targeted Optimized Phage solutions for food Safety), a 4-year collaboration between Danish businesses and researchers, is drawing to a close, and has shown that phages that target fresh food spoilage bacteria are

Bacteriophage.news is a new platform for phage therapy patients to share their stories.

As German Research Center for Environmental Health, Helmholtz Zentrum München pursues the goal of developing personalized medical approaches for the prevention and therapy of major common diseases such as diabetes mellitus, allergies and lu

A&P Inphatec, LLC is commercializing the first product to treat Pierce’s Disease in grapevines. Our unique solution utilizes bacteriophages to target and kill the bacteria at the source of the problem – giving wine growers an organic and su

Alfred Fillol-Salom (Univ. of Glasgow) and colleagues have uncovered how Gram-negative phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs), a universal class of mobile genetic elements that impact bacterial virulence, hijack phage machinery for the

Simon Roux and a multidisciplinary team of colleagues have found that inoviruses (filamentous, single stranded DNA phages that replicate without killing their host) are much more prevalent than previously thought, and they even infect archa
