Excited to share a new collaboration with the @Csaba_Pal_Lab, out now in @NatureMicrobiol!.The study highlights how ESKAPE pathogens adapt to emerging antibiotics:.
🚨 Excited to share that our new study, “ESKAPE pathogens rapidly develop resistance against antibiotics in development in vitro” is just published in @NatureMicrobiol. For details, see the 🧵below and read the paper here:

Thank you @phagedirectory and @JessicaSacher for this, excited to see our work being shared! Check out the full story in this week's Capsid & Tail! #AMR #PhageTherapy #Acinetobacterbaumanii.
A team of Hungarian scientists (@KintsesLab & @balazs_papp_lab) created a global ‘superbug map’ for A. baumannii strains, paving the way for scalable phage therapy to combat AMR infections. Check out the feature blog post in this week's Capsid & Tail to learn more!

Fantastic news! Congratulations @AzeredoLab.
📢 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.

🔄 From personalized to scalable: Traditionally, phage therapy is personalized and time-consuming. Our map identifies locations where patients need the same phages, scaling up phage therapy and allowing clinical trials. 7/10.

⏳ Timing is everything: Superbug variants spread slowly, remaining prevalent for about 6 years in a region, allowing us to prepare region-specific phage treatments in advance. 6/10.

💡 Key discovery: Despite hundreds of bacterial variants, only a few strains dominate in each region. This means we can prepare region-specific phage treatments that could tackle up to 80% of local infections. 5/10.
