The Leo Foundation has granted 4 million DKK to a new innovative phage therapy project led by Thomas Sicheritz-Pontén (University of Copenhagen), aiming to combat necrotizing soft tissue infections by harnessing Group A Strep-targeting phag

Swiss startup NEMIS Technologies AG will focus on the use of phage technology for food safety, starting with Listeria.

Samuel Greenrod (University of Oxford) and colleagues explored the effects of warming on the interaction between the P. aeruginosa and three diverse lytic phages. They found that while temperatures up to 40°C had minimal impact, 42°C signif

Hiba Baaziz (Virginia Tech) and colleagues showed that subtle changes in the lysis-lysogeny decision of Salmonella phage P22 can dramatically impact the emergence of phage resistance.

Six years ago, just as I was finishing up my microbiology PhD, I stumbled across an opportunity to help a patient. One patient turned into many, and what I used to think was 50 years away — using phages to treat infections — has become my d
