EUCAST has established a dedicated Phage Susceptibility Testing (PST) Subcommittee. The group will focus on developing harmonised laboratory approaches to evaluate the activity of therapeutic phages.

Researchers developed a new form of silver #nanoparticle (AgNP) that is substantially more effective against harmful #bacteria and even slows down the rate at which resistance forms. They used M13 as the biological template to grow these nanoparticles. https://t.co/bi5rnR3zJf

A study recently published in Nature Communications reveals that #phages in the #honeybee gut don’t just coexist with bacteria; they reflect them. When #bacterial diversity rises, so does viral diversity, forming a near-perfect microbial mirror.

In partnership with Biophoundry, the #PhD candidate will train ML models to identify highly conserved regions on the #bacterial surface.

I had an chat with @TheQuadram communication team about my life as a PHD-er and all things about science communication. Including in the article is the interview I had with @EvelienAdri on recent changes on phage Taxonomy.

A recent study published by scientists from Northwestern University uncovered hundreds of bacteriophages, from samples collected from toothbrushes and showerheads. There was little to no overlap in virus types between different toothbrushes and showerheads https://t.co/udPvpQSJ9U

Guess what! @PhageDirectory has a podcast now??! Podovirus Episode 1 is live on Spotify (& we've also published it in blog form on Capsid & Tail). (Thanks @yawnxyz for the last minute adorable cover art!)

@karenkingahi17 @ayeejuju This is funny 😁 for sure

Bacteriophages in food safety
This mini-documentary offers a glimpse into how bacteriophages can be applied to food safety. Countries like the USA and others already have some FDA-approved products for food safety.
