Hany Ahmed (@TantaUniversity) et al published a paper on isolation & characterization of a lytic #phage against carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB), showing phage was effective in treating lung infections in mice & demonstrated safety in lung tissues

.@gem__atkinson’s lab is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher, to study antibiotic resistance and #phages using a combination of wet lab and computational approaches. The position, funded by the Swedish Research Council, starts in 2025.

Yangjing Xiong (@sjtu1896) et al published a new paper on #phagetherapy for ETEC-induced diarrhea, showing #phage JE01 reduced ETEC colonization and inflammation in mice, with fluorescent imaging revealing rapid intestinal targeting of the phage

RT @JessicaSacher: 🧬 How do we make phage therapy profitable? So excited to share this fascinating chat with Alexander (Sandro) Sulakvelid…

.@lunduniversity is hiring a Postdoctoral researcher, to study molecular mechanisms of antiphage defense systems using #phage microbiology, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches in @hauryliuk’s lab.

Mahshid Khazani Asforooshan (@AlzahraUniverse) etal have isolated & characterized a novel #phage targeting E. faecium from hospital sewage. They designed a hydrogel-based drug delivery carrier, & showed phage+hydrogel combination promoted wound healing

.@fz_juelich is hiring a #PhD student, to study #phage-biocontrol strategies for pathogen control in agriculturally relevant plants. The project involves microbiology and plant physiology experiments in collaboration between two research groups.

Saar Van Overfelt (@ugent) et al published a paper on quantifying #phages using qPCR and double agar overlay (DAO) methods, showing DNase treatment reduces discrepancies between qPCR and DAO quantification by removing free phage DNA in stocks

.@SRUC - Scotland’s Rural College is hiring a #PhD student, to study combined therapeutic effects of #phages and probiotics on avian pathogenic E. coli colonization in chickens.

.@KevinMinyo6651 (@Stanford) etal published a paper on designing effective #phage-antibiotic cocktails against infections, showing that combining phages targeting different bacterial receptors can prevent resistance & effectively treat MDR infections

This week's issue of Capsid & Tail:

.@sheffielduni is hiring a #PhD student, to study #phage infection mechanisms in C. difficile using advanced imaging techniques, aiming to develop effective phage therapies against antibiotic-resistant infections.

.@Atif_micro (@IndiaBARC) and colleagues published a new paper showing chlorine-tolerant #phages can inhibit growth and #biofilm formation of chlorine-resistant K. pneumoniae isolated from a cooling water system.
