James Doub (University of Maryland School of Medicine) and colleagues published their successful eradication of a 72-year-old man's prosthetic joint infection with phage therapy, which was done alongside Adaptive Phage Therapeutics and the

What happens to the bystanders of a phage-host interaction? Anushila Chatterjee (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new preprint on how phage infection induces the type 7 secretion system in Enterococcus f

Shweta Karambelkar (Indian Institute of Science) and colleagues published a interesting report on how phage Mu uniquely protects its DNA from diverse host defense systems in Nucleic Acids Research. They characterized Mu's "Mom" protein, whi

Oliver Bezuidt (University of Pretoria, South Africa) and colleagues published a new paper in mSystems that sheds light on Antarctic phage-host interactions. Their metagenomic analysis picked up DISARM, BREX and CRISPR-Cas defense systems i

Andrej Balaz (Geneton Ltd, Slovakia) and colleagues published a preprint describing PHERI, a phage host exploration tool that uses a machine learning algorithm to predict the host of a phage based on its sequence. Preprint | Application dow

Metagenomics is enabling discovery of millions of new viral sequences, but no tools previously existed to estimate their quality. Stephen Nayfach (DOE Joint Genome Institute) and colleagues created CheckV, an automated pipeline for assessin

Jason Schrad (Michigan State University) and colleagues published a structural characterization in Cell (through cryoEM, cryoET, and SEM) of how giant virus infection is initiated. They also use proteomics to identify proteins released from

Artem Isaev (Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Russia) and colleagues have published an article in Nucleic Acids Research on how the T7 phage DNA mimic protein Ocr inhibits the host BREX defense system. Ocr, which had been previ

Katherine Wetzel (University of Pittsburgh) and colleagues recently published their work on protein-mediated and RNA-based origins of replication of extrachromosomal mycobacterial prophages in mBio. The study highlights the diversity of lys

Flavia Squeglia (National Research Council of Italy) and colleagues published a paper in Structure that describes a new structural and functional study of a Klebsiella phage tailspike protein with capsular polysaccharide depolymerase activi

Wenyuan Chen (Hunan Normal University, China) and colleagues published a letter in Protein & Cell describing a cryo-EM study into the structural changes the T7 phage capsid undergoes upon DNA packaging and maturation.
