Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major threat to animal health, and antimicrobial resistance is making it worse. 🚨We just published the FIRST report on engineering prophage-derived endolysins against Mannheimia haemolytica! 🐄🦠

We need to learn more from producers, Industry-tailored research is way to go to ensure our research is meaningful and applicable

[Dongyan Xu Niu @phageyan]

Today I was asked by a producer how do we know when our chicken get sick and needs to given with phage to prevent them to get sick? Although I got the question answered, I feel there’s lots of gap needs to fill up for implementing phages to the industry .

@milja001 @Leicester_Phage Very cool!

[Dongyan Xu Niu @phageyan]

It was incredible busy summer for us, so glad to have 3 bright undergrads Anna, Paige, Katie to assist us, all the best to the new semester! Also big shout out to my senior trainees Jenny, Yiran, Marwa and Sidra who did most training and mentoring. Thanks all
