I don’t normally post but I am very excited to share this work we have done. Genomic Determinants of Phage Activity Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Roles of Receptors, Defence Systems, and Anti-Defences biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Our latest pre-print is available below, led by @AVaitekenas, where we identified specific host and phage factors that determine phage activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Great work by our team at @TheKids_AU @uwanews @PerthChildrens

Another presentation at @ischemo International Congress of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy today by @AVaitekenas from @WalyanCentre. Andew’s poster is “Assessing Phage Resistance Evolution by Distinct Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis” Learn more 👇

Looking forward to @JoshuaIszatt and @AVaitekenas presenting their phage work at the International Congress of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Congrats to @_reneenicole on your student awards! @WalyanCentre @CurtinUni @telethonkids @UWAresearch

Glad to have the second installment of bacteriophage named... Not all superheroes wear capes! @AVaitekenas has big things in store for this team! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36374083/ @WalyanCentre @CurtinUni @UWA @telethonkids

#worldphageweek #scicomm: Bacteria constantly evolve to get the better of phage and build resistance, but phages thwart their attempts. @AVaitekenas is researching these dynamics. Thanks @daringnewman for graphic! @WalyanCentre @CurtinUni @UWAresearch @telethonkids

The @WalyanCentre has launched their Phage WA website this week. Phage WA are committed to tackling antimicrobial resistance through the use of phage therapy. @PCHFWA @PerthChildrens #phage #cysticfibrosis walyanrespiratory.telethonkids.org.au/projects/phage…
