Eliminating the type I restriction endonuclease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 for optimised phage isolation Phage therapy is a promising treatment for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Due to their high host specificity, phages must be matched to the target clinical strains. Efficiently identifying ...

If you want to improve promiscuity and yield of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for production of phages, start by taking out its restriction modification system: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thank you for hosting @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social and @citizenphage.bsky.social

Great updates on global status of phage therapy and how to bring this into the UK. Feel very lucky to have had the chance to attend!

Great to see this work out by the Yale team!

Enhancing phage therapy by coating single bacteriophage-infected bacteria with polymer to preserve phage vitality - Nature Biomedical Engineering The wrapping of single bacteriophage-infected bacteria with a polymeric nanoscale coating preserves the vitality of the replicating phages, which led to enhanced therapeutic outcomes in mice with bact...

Delivering phages to the site of infection by Trojan Horse. Cool idea to wrap infected cells in a soluble polyme, with timed release where they are needed.

On a day where the National Audit Office reported that the government was not doing enough to combat the threat of untreatable bacterial infections (www.theguardian.com/society/2025...), we met with legislators to highlight the power of phage therapy to provide new treatments to patients.

Can you explode a bacteria with a phage?

In Parliament until 1pm, committee room 4a, find out about #phages and their use in medicine with Exeter University.

Particularly crucial in age of #AMR. Other nations racing ahead, we are being left behind #PublicHealth
