Evgenii Rubalskii (Hannover Medical School) and colleagues published a new paper in Antibiotics presenting their findings on using phage therapy to treat critical infections related to cardiothoracic surgery. They showed that phages (in com

Ruimin Gao (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) and colleagues published a new paper in BMC Genomics showing a comparative genomic analysis of 142 bacteriophages infecting Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (the full complement of the prophag

For some interdisciplinary research news, Rachel Yoon Kyung Chang, Philip Chi Lip Kwok (University of Sydney) and colleagues published a new paper in Bioengineering and Translational Medicine on the stabilization mechanism of inhalable phag

Anti-CRISPRs are widespread among phages, but it's been hard to screen for them. Jiawei Wang and colleagues at Monash University have developed an ensemble learning based predictor, PaCRISPR, to accurately identify anti-CRISPRs from protein

Alita Burmeister (Yale University) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS describing how pleiotropy complicates trade-offs between phage resistance and antibiotic resistance for a bacterial host, which has implications for phage thera
