Tamsin Redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a preprint in bioRxiv describing how prophages in the infant gut are largely induced, and may be functionally relevant to their hosts. They found prophages in the inf

Amber Dance (science journalist in Los Angeles, California) published a Nature news feature article on the virus discoveries transforming biology. She highlighted the work of Mya Breitbart, Frederik Sc

Recent updates to C&T guest writing process! Thanks to our super engaged community of phage enthusiasts (all of you!) we are outgrowing our old ways of getting each Capsid & Tail feature ready the week or two before it comes out. So we're

Society for Bacteriophage Research and Therapy, India is organizing the 2nd International Conference on Bacteriophage Research on July 22-24, 2021. The aim of this conference is to bring researchers, professors, and university students from

Aleksandra Petrovic Fabijan (Westmead Institute for Medical Research) and colleagues published a preprint on L-form switching in pathogenic Escherichia coli. They demonstrated that the osmotically fragile L-form is highly tolerant of oxidat

Rodrigo Ibarra-Chávez (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues published a review in FEMS on emerging applications of phage satellites in biotechnology. They found phage satellites exploit phages to ensure their own propagation and horizon

Michael Blazanin and Paul Turner (Yale University) published a preprint in EcoEvoRxiv on the role of community context in shaping bacteria-phage ecology and evolution. They synthesized the emerging body of bacteria-phage experiments in medi

Kristopher Kieft (University of Wisconsin–Madison) and colleagues published a research article in Nature Communications on the ecology of inorganic sulfur auxiliary metabolism in widespread phages. They identified 191 phages encoding 227 au

Stephen Abedon (Ohio State University, USA) and colleagues published an opinion article in Viruses on improving phage-biofilm in vitro experimentation. They discuss current issues and suggest improvements in the design, interpretation and r

PHAVES #19 will be a seminar by Dr. Ameneh Khatami, who is a senior lecturer in Child and Adolescent Health for the University of Sydney, based at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, where she also works as a paediatric infectious diseases

Apurva Virmani Johri (Vitalis Phage Therapy, India) and colleagues published a case report in Frontiers in Pharmacology on phage therapy for treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis. Significant improvements in symptoms and re-testing of

Joshua Borin (University of California San Diego) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS showing that coevolutionary phage training leads to greater bacterial suppression and delays the evolution of phage resistance. For example, they

Clément Coclet and Simon Roux (DOE Joint Genome Institute) published a review in Current Opinion in Virology on major challenges of host prediction methods for uncultivated phages. They highlight different approaches, giving their distinct

Eleanor Townsend (University of Warwick) and colleagues published a new review in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology on the origins and roles of phages in the human gut microbiome. They review phageome development in infancy a

Stephan Tetter (ETH Zurich) and colleagues published a report in Science on developing virus-like 'artificial nucleocapsid' carriers for diverse vaccine and delivery applications. They evolved a protein that forms multimeric, spherical cage
