Novel lytic phage Rocko targets Burkholderia and shows rare stationary‑phase killing at cooler temperatures. Genomically safe but inactive at 37°C, offering promise for biofilm‑focused phage cocktails.

🦠 How can bacteriophages improve food safety?
This review examines manufacturing quality, regulatory governance, and a One Health framework to support the safe use of phages as food biocontrol agents.

New paper 🌟 from @DrPrasanthM & team on:
Revising SP6’s lysis genes uncovers holin–endolysin–spanin strategies long missed in GenBank—showing how updated phage annotations can drive the next wave of antibacterial innovation.

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

Get ready to dance, our paper – Phage DisCo: targeted discovery of bacteriophages by co-culture – has been pre-printed! 🪩 This has been a really fun project to work on with @implosian, @baym, @nquinoneso, Kesther and Carmen! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/

Why @Leicester_Phage - alongside our phage colleagues globally, are doing the work we do articulated in 30 seconds!
One of the major problems facing humanity is the inability to treat bacteria that make us sick.
Prof @MarthaClokie and her Centre for Phage Research team are studying bacteriophages to combat this growing issue.

The CPT's Phage Naming Service is now available at phns.phagetech.org/!
This service lets you quickly check if a phage name already exists in either NCBI or PhagesDB.
