Phage Asia

A coalition of stakeholders (private, public & academic sectors) to promote the understanding & use of bacteriophages in the food value chains in Asia

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Scientific session organized in conjunction with #Avicultura 2025 Porcinos tradeshow in Buenos Aires, Argentina. #Salmonella is always a hot topic for its impact on #foodborne diseases and #foodsafety. Sadly, #bacteriophages are not mentioned as a tool in the arsenal available.

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Well said @Phage_UniFAHS! We are late with our posting as we attended the webinar organized by our colleagues from @PhageEU

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

#WorldPhageDay is celebrating nature's powerful defenders: #Phages! By targeting harmful bacteria (e.g. Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, or Vibrio), these tiny heroes protect our food, animals, and environment. From farm to fork, they combat #AMR & safeguard the food value chains.

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Thank you @Phage_UniFAHS to raise awareness about #phages outside of the #Asia region. Such an excellent #alternative to #antibiotics must be shared, especially with #Africa, the continent expected to suffer the most, along with Asia, from the rise of #AMR. #OneHealth

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

At #VIVAfrica in Kigali, Rwanda to evaluate the opportunities for #bacteriophages in the region. #Foodsafety and the control of #Salmonella & #Campylobacter are always a concern. We offer a #sustainable solution to #farmers, #veterinarians & #foodprocessors, where ever they are!

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Well done @Phage_UniFAHS. Truly appreciate your efforts to raise #awareness about #phage solutions among @FAO members during the #RCVI2024 in Rome. Lack of understanding of the potential of phages is a key impediment to adoption in the field. #AMR

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

Great to see our very own Dr. Kitiya present at the @FAO HQ in Rome during the @FAOLivestock Global conference on #Animal #Health #Innovations. Reducing the use of #antibiotics calls for new solutions. #Bacteriophages are one of them but we must raise #awareness. #RCVI2024

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

So pleased to welcome @PeterFineran, Head of Phage-host interactions (Phi) lab. Phage defences with @otago. His expertise in the field of #phages will be a great asset to reaching our objectives - great undertanding and acceptation of #bacteriophages in Asia. Nau mai e Peter!

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Heather Hendrickson, also know as @DrHHNZ to our alliance. Nau mai e Heather! Delighted to have your support to spread the good news about #bacteriophages. Lack of awareness is one of the biggest hurdles overcautious we face along with regulators.

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Agree with @Phage_UniFAHS ! #Phages are a great alternative to enhance the #health and #welfare of #Livestock, #poultry & #aquaculture. #OneHealth included addressing #AW in a sustainable way. #AMR #Animalwelfare #SaveAntibioticsUsePhages

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

Attending the 6th China #Animalwelfare in #China. Improving the #health & #wellbeing of production
#animals is one of the keys to the #sustainability of the sector. #Bacteriophages = an excellent alternative to #antibiotics to improve #productivity & #welfare of animals. #Phages

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Fully agree with @Phage_UniFAHS. Lack of #awareness is our biggest hurdle to the widespread adoption of #phages. This is one of the stated objectives of #PhageAsia.

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

Checking on competition at the #VIVChina2024. #Phages are presented as an option to #antibiotics in animal production. The more we "advertise" this key role of #phages, the better. Lack of #awareness is still the most limiting factor to adoption. #AMR #OneHealth

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Building @PhageAsia from strenght to strenght! Delighted to welcome Prof. Donna May Papa from @UST1611official. Her research focuses on increasing the knowledge of #Phage Biology in the #Philippines. Welcome Donna! #Bacteriophages #Phages #AMR #SaveAntibioticsUsePhages

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Thanks @FAOLivestock for adding #bacteriophages as one of the good #alternatives within the #RENOFARM #5G approach to reduce the impact of #AMR on #animals #people & #planet. A great approach to a more #sustainable #Livestock & #poultry sector. #phages #SaveAntibioticsUsePhage

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Live from Bangkok! We are delighted to introduce @PhageAsia to the participants of the #OneHealth conference of the @ISOHA_OneHealth 2024 assembly. Getting on board #students for fighting #AMR is essential. Please to tell them more about #phages and what we can do together.

[Phage Kenya @PhageKenya]

Register for the next series of Phage webinar organized by our very own Phage Hunters Training and Research Program.
Engage in this convo with @MarthaClokie @Akis_BeCool @Noutin_Micho, & Dr. Joseph Michaels

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Welcome to Mark Carascal to @PhageAsia. Combining his dedication to research on #bacteriophages at the Clinical and Translational Research Institute #CTRI of @TheMedicalCity with Writing skills, Mark brings a good mix to boost the confidence of regulators in Asia (& the world!).

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Live now on LinkedIn! Building #phages banks as a means to reduce the burden of #AMR. Please to have @Atif_micro part of this panel and looking forward to hearing his thoughts. #SaveAntibioticsUsePhages #OneHealth #Bacteriophages

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Delighted to have @Atif_micro, member of the #PhageAsia alliance, participating to this panel discussion about #phages and the establishement of phage banks in developing countries. Raising #awareness about #bacteriophages is one of our core objectives

[ASM @ASMicrobiology]

A single-layer spot assay allows for fast high-throughput quantitation of phages against multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens. The method is less cumbersome than double-agar overlay plaque assay, the gold standard for phage enumeration. https://t.co/vA4kO8GMeA @JClinMicro

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

More reasons to accelerate the acceptance of #phages by #regulators in #Asia. #Aquaculture and #seafood exports are important in our region. Better #control measures for producers, #safer #foods. Join us in our mission to make #bacteriophages the real option. #FightAMRusePhages

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

#Climatechange will create some shifts in the prevalence of #vibrio in #seafoods reported @EFSA_EU. Wider distribution and longer presence can affect the #safety of #aqauculture products. But we have some #phage options to assist #farmers & #processors
https://t.co/PlhVb8vV9C

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Fully agree with @Phage_UniFAHS on this point. We must work on gaining more understanding and acceptance by #regulators in #Asia. #FightAMRwithPhages #AMR #OneHealth

[Phage_UniFAHS @Phage_UniFAHS]

While #bacteriophages are not yet considered the method of choice to replace #antibiotic growth promoters #AGP, we strongly believe they can & will! #Phages = an ideal tool to reduce the rise of #AMR in animal production. #Onehealth #สุขภาพหนึ่งเดียว #AMR https://t.co/8YmcQadmy4

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

One of the main objectives of #PhageAsia is to reach out to #graduatestudents & future leaders of the #Animalproduction and #Food sectors. Welcome to Usama Imtiaz within our coalition! Raising awareness about #phages among #foodscience & #microbiology #students is essential.

[Phage Asia @PhageAsia]

Really thought that today's #Wordle was raising the global visibility of #Phages. Not yet! #FightAMRwithPhages #AMR #Bacteriophages
