Phage lovers! Introducing Phage-Induced Immunity (PHI-II). This discovery suggests that some phage can not only treat an existing infection (well known) but they can also immunize to prevent a future infection (new finding). Read about the adventure here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

TAILΦR Milestone! Dosed our first patient with
@bwtrautner.bsky.social in an academic-led clinical trial (NCT06559618). The phages were discovered, manufactured, tested, FDA approved and now administered in one location by one team, an end-to-end miracle we hope will counter the AMR crisis. Dream!
