PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research

The only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to bacteriophage research; Editor-in-Chief @MarthaClokie, Publisher @liebertpub

[PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research @PHAGEJournal]

A new paper from @chinantoinette & colleagues shows Xoo phage vB_XORNC02 is strongly lytic, environmentally stable, and >95% identical to Tsukubavirus XPP1. A promising biocontrol option for bacterial leaf blight.

🧬 New paper: SARS‑CoV‑2 doesn’t just disrupt the microbiome: it reshapes the phageome.
@siddharthstomar & @CsirEvc share their findings showing phage richness skyrockets in infected individuals (79 vs. 28 genera), bacterial diversity drops. Read more: https://t.co/a5q4clT3ux

New paper🧬
This review summarises recent advancements in the field of holins and spanins, membrane-disrupting lysis proteins that essentially act as the “clock” of the phage infection cycle, and potential next-gen therapeutics.

✨New paper
K. pneumoniae persists up to 24 h on hospital surfaces, with persistence at 24°C. Osorio et al. from Columbia show a 3‑phage cocktail delivers ~5‑log killing in 6 h and prevents disinfectant‑linked regrowth.
