Top Tweets for #OctoPhage
As the last event (@IbadanPhageTeam) concluded earlier today, another #Octophage comes to a close.
It is time to thank ALL participants, speakers, organisers, and thousands of followers across social media for promoting Phage - the friendly bacteria-destroying virus. Increasing awareness of the vast potential bacteriophage development offers to combat antimicrobial resistance, #AMR, is essential to save lives. PHAGE, the enemy of our enemy, is our Friend!
It's #phageoween and the end of 2026 #Octophage.
Out in the universe, trillions of #Phage, our friendly bacteria-destroying virus, are busy hunting down #bacteria! Long live the Phage!
Warm Greetings to all - speakers, participants and organisers!

Such excitement building for the Ibadan Phage Research Team Phage Celebration event tomorrow! A wonderful co-ordinating effort by so many phage enthusiasts and supportive speakers. Enjoy! Learn! Love Phage!

#OctoPhage / #WorldPhageDay / #WorldPhageWeek 2026 Spotlight - Dr. Lillian Musila, Principal Research Scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), associated with U.S. Army Medical Research Directorate-Africa / WRAIR-Africa work.
- After documenting high antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates across Kenya, she launched systematic phage hunting around 2016. Her team has isolated 150+ phages active against ESKAPE pathogens (including Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and others) from local sources such as sewage, rivers, wastewater, and other environmental samples.
- The focus is on therapeutic potential against multidrug-resistant clinical strains in a high-burden setting - true local solutions for local pathogens.
This is a standout example of building collaborative capacity, and local leadership in African phage research.
#OctoPhage / #WorldPhageDay / #WorldPhage 2026 Spotlight: - Prof. Jesca Nakavuma, “Mama Phage” (Uganda) is an Associate Professor at Makerere University (College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity / CoVAB) and Founder of Phage Team Uganda.
- After hosting early Phages for Global Health laboratory training workshops (starting 2017), Prof. Nakavuma and her teams have isolated and characterised many phages targeting avian pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella, and aquaculture pathogens (including Aeromonas).
- She has personally taught phage basics to hundreds of students (reported figures exceed 600), mentored numerous bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses (around 26+ on phages), and helped expand phage research and capacity across multiple Ugandan universities.
- Phage Team Uganda has grown into a multi-institution consortium with a growing repository of characterised isolates. This is a standout example of building capacity, community, and local leadership in African phage research.
What better way to close out #OctoPhage than by leaning into the seasonal fun of #Phageoween?
Phage versus Bacteria is the ultimate "Trick or Treat" scenario. Time to invite the PhagePhun Phanatics to share their ‘Trick or Treat’ Phageoween images. As we look ahead to November's global AMR focus, let's remember that our smallest allies are the scariest sight a superbug can face.
Show us your Phageoween pumpkins, your lab costumes, and your best phage phacts! 🎃🧬

If you are a #PhagePhan share widely to spread the word. If you don't know anything about the phenomenal life-saving phage, follow and join in the celebratory activity. @CombatamrOrg #OctoPhage #Phage #WorldPhageDay #WorldPhageWeek #AMR #Bacteriophage #virus #antibioticresistance
We are almost into #OctoPhage - the global celebration of the wondrous #phage #bacteriophage.

Primero hay que entender qué es un bacteriófago, también llamado “fago”.
Imagínalo como un virus especializado en encontrar determinadas bacterias.
Se une a ellas, introduce su material genético y utiliza la propia bacteria para multiplicarse.
Hasta que la bacteria se rompe.
Y los nuevos fagos pueden continuar buscando otras bacterias susceptibles.
Una especie de “depredador natural” microscópico.
