Our recent work on identifying a big some might say huge phage in marine virome , led by @SMichniewski with @RyanCookAMR @coccolithovirus (@thembauk ) @CyanoNey and Dave Scanlan (given up trying to get on twitter)

Megaphages – bacteriophages harbouring extremely large genomes – have recently been found to be ubiquitous, being described from a variety of microbiomes ranging from the animal gut to soil and...

Don't know if any phage-folks needs to see this, but not all agars are made equal. In my case, it's for phage work, but totally possible that other biological phenomena are impacted as well. After years of working with lambda, I noticed that it stopped plaquing and multiple 1/

I am pleased to share my latest publication, work from my PhD in @milja001 group, together with @AlexiaH4: https://t.co/n6KY9aAhNj

There is currently a renaissance in research on bacteriophages as alternatives to antibiotics. Phage specificity to their bacterial host, in addition to a plethora of other advantages, makes them...

One issue that obstructs phage efficiency in vivo is poor localization of phage to the site of infection. @AGrigonyte and colleagues published a new paper showing how they modified phages to increase their association with lung epithelium cells in vitro

Phage therapy data being evaluated by @WHO!
Happening virtually @WHO: The meeting of the @WHO Advisory Group on the 2020 antibacterial treatment pipeline that target the WHO priority pathogens. Available data on non-traditional treatments such as phage therapy will be evaluated for the first time. https://t.co/aG4RdhhEtM

We reuse our Qiagen columns (any kind) without compromising the yield and any carry over DNA contaminations by soaking the columns in 1M HCl overnight and washing the coumns with 5X distilled water (1 column volume each time). Saves money and plastics.

Bacteriophages, though discovered a century ago, still lag behind in the race of antimicrobials due to scarce information about their biology, pharmacology, safety and suitability as therapeutic...

Last talk before we pause for beverages, we have Aureljia Grigonyte, also from Dominic Sauvageau's Lab at @UAlberta. Her presentation will provide insight into how we can take into account complex variables when modeling the effect of phage cocktails.
