An article published in the journal "Microbiology Spectrum" reports the results of experiments based on the use of genetically modified #bacteriophage #viruses to combat strains of Escherichia coli #bacteria that developed resistance to various antibiotics. These findings offer a way to neutralize these bacteria and new insights into the interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria.

One step closer to manufacturing #pandemics. The first successful AI-design of E. coli #phages with new properties. Applied by zealots to human pathogenic viruses ... and we have a solution to Fermi's paradox. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03055-y

Yesterday session on #Clostridia #phages and surfaces was brilliant, with personal highlights being Dr Anna Barwinska-Sendra's work on diversification of #Cdiff #S-layers, Louis-Charles Fortier's talk on how phage/S-layer specificity and Lea Huet's work in PSII S-layer anchoring. #clostpath14

Defence mechanism inception!

Listeria prophages protect their host bacteria with anti-phage systems, leaving them susceptible to their own defence systems - read how this may actually be an evolutionary advantage!

#Phages (viruses that kill bacteria) are considered a potential approach to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, they don't always deliver the desired results on their own. A research team at #CharitéBerlin has now demonstrated that combining phages with an antibiotic is much more effective, at least in the lab, against a form of #pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria 💪👩‍🔬.

Exciting work from the Hsu lab at Virginia Tech! They developed a cool way too knock down phage abundances to examine their role in the gut.

Gram-neg bacteria can resist #phages by modifying their LPS, also affecting #antibiotic susceptibility. @lavishaparab &co show that antibiotic concentrations influence evolution of E. coli phage resistance, leading to enhanced phage-antibiotic synergy #plosbiology https://plos.io/4hPmO0X

Bacteriaphages are a promising, albeit hard to handle, alternative to antibiotics. Since bacteria create antibiotics to use against their opponents, it shouldn't really come as a surprise that they also use phages for the same purpose.
But it does surprise me.
