Phage researchers can now access PhageBox, an open-source digital microfluidic extension that integrates temperature and electromagnetic modules, which can be used for phage research, as recently demonstrated by Dreycey Albin (University of

ETH Zurich researchers genetically engineered two virulent phages per uropathogen (E. coli, Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp.) to express a nanoluciferase reporter on infection and tested the bioluminescence assay on 206 patient urine samp

How do you design a system that can share data across phage labs and biobanks? But also track where a phage came from and where a phage went? And along the way let each lab selectively pitch in their lab data? We'll get into some higher lev

The Evergreen International Phage Meeting is happening Aug 6-11, 2023, live in Olympia, Washington, USA! This is an in-person meeting, better known as Phage Camp! Come present your phage work, climb mountains with other phage scientists, pl

In the context of the European Joint Program Initiative on AntiMicrobial Resistance project KLEOPATRA, Dr. Régis Tournebize is hiring a post-doc to participate in the pre-clinical development of a synergistic phage therapy/antibiotic treat

Are you a phage enthusiast looking to isolate your own phage? Check out this beginner-friendly guide by Raphael Hans Lwesya for tips and tricks!

The Phage Australia team at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research has been awarded $3.5 million by the NSW Government to address the phage manufacturing bottleneck for phage therapy patients.

NHS Tayside's orthopaedic department has successfully treated a joint infection using phage therapy, the first time phage therapy has been used in the UK to treat a bone/joint infection.

Tejas Dharmaraj (Stanford University School of Medicine) and colleagues describe the use of dynamic light scattering to measure changes in phage physical state, finding that phages tend to decay and form aggregates, and that degree of aggre

Thilo Köhler (Geneva University Hospitals) and colleagues report successful treatment of a 41-year-old patient with a P. aeruginosa infection using aerosolized phage therapy. They followed evolution of phage and bacteria in respiratory samp

Meghan Rose McGillin (Cornell University) has written a post on key insights from ASM Microbe 2023, with a focus on how much phage work was presented. She highlights new developments in phage therapy, including breakthroughs targeting B. ce

Researchers at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Federal University of Viçosa and University of Córdoba reported the phage UFJF_PfDIW6, which lyses Pseudomonas fluorescens affecting milk quality. The article says ICTV accepted the pro

At Phage Australia, we're scaling up personalized phage therapy. Jessica Sacher shares an overview of the process, to assist other centers in navigating the challenges of running a successful phage therapy (or other bio-based) service. At P

Greg German and his team in Toronto have successfully used personalized phage therapy to cure a UTI in a patient, as covered by Canada’s CTV News. This is the first patient in their clinical trial, and constitutes Canada’s first phage thera

Matthias Fischer (Max Planck Institute for Medical Research) and colleagues have discovered a stunning structural diversity of giant virus-like particles in forest soil, including giant icosahedral capsids with structural modifications not

Krista Freeman (University of Pittsburgh) and colleagues have found that several mycobacteriophages have O-linked glycans, mediated by phage-encoded glycosyltransferases, which can alter antibody binding and recognition.

Designer phages by Eligo Bioscience have been highlighted by the World Economic Forum as a key transformative force for the coming years, coincidentally on World Microbiome Day.

Phage therapy was covered in ‘Grow by Ginkgo’ magazine’s Scale issue; well-researched piece with a great narrative! Good one to share with public audiences, and highlights that the synthetic biology / biomanufacturing community is starting

We are urgently seeking Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii phages for a patient in Singapore Ways to help at this stage: - By sending your phages for testing on the patient's strains - By receiving the patient's strain and
