EUCAST has established a dedicated Phage Susceptibility Testing (PST) Subcommittee. The group will focus on developing harmonised laboratory approaches to evaluate the activity of therapeutic phages. #PhageTherapy #AntimicrobialResistance #EUCAST thephage.xyz/news/eucast-to…

Researchers developed a new form of silver #nanoparticle (AgNP) that is substantially more effective against harmful #bacteria and even slows down the rate at which resistance forms. They used M13 as the biological template to grow these nanoparticles. thephage.xyz/2025/12/11/a-n…

A study recently published in Nature Communications reveals that #phages in the #honeybee gut don’t just coexist with bacteria; they reflect them. When #bacterial diversity rises, so does viral diversity, forming a near-perfect microbial mirror. thephage.xyz/2025/11/05/bee…

In partnership with Biophoundry, the #PhD candidate will train ML models to identify highly conserved regions on the #bacterial surface. thephage.xyz/jobs/jobs/desi…

3rd UK MGE Workshop – June 16-17, Southampton Low-cost, science-focused, and full of fresh faces! Great discussions—no hidden agendas, just MGEs. Call for talks– No abstract needed! Just send your title by the end of April. #MGE #UKscience

MMB DTP PhD student @rapher97 , on professional placement with @micronorwich, has created the #MarvellousMicrobes activity at the Norwich Science Festival. Take part from 1st February to 22nd February norwichsciencefestival.co.uk/whats-on

And this couldn't have happened without the great QSF committee! Thanks for all their help -Josh

If you're out and about Christmas shopping in Norwich this weekend, don't forget to swing by @TheForumNorwich to pick up a copy of the Festival brochure! You can find them just outside the entrance to the Millennium Library 📚 #NorwichSciFest #NSF25

"My advice for anyone interested in science communication is to always consider your audience." 💬 @rapher97 buff.ly/40Fo0hM

I had an chat with @TheQuadram communication team about my life as a PHD-er and all things about science communication. Including in the article is the interview I had with @EvelienAdri on recent changes on phage Taxonomy.

A recent study published by scientists from Northwestern University uncovered hundreds of bacteriophages, from samples collected from toothbrushes and showerheads. There was little to no overlap in virus types between different toothbrushes and showerheads thephage.xyz/2024/10/14/ove…

I'm having a great time at @VoM_2024 so far and am looking forward to presenting some of my work with @EvelienAdri in the Bioinformatics session this afternoon! See you there! 👋🦠 #VoM2024 #Phages

A bit jet lagged but excited to be presenting my PhD research with @EvelienAdri at @VoM_2024 in Cairns 🇦🇺 #VoM2024 @TheQuadram

🆕 Blog! How our Research Scientist Dr @LukeeActon is exploring spinning out a company, Quadlytics, to improve food safety using the science of bacteriophages 🧪 #WorldFoodSafetyDay buff.ly/3RiqXzl

Guess what! @PhageDirectory has a podcast now??! Podovirus Episode 1 is live on Spotify (& we've also published it in blog form on Capsid & Tail). (Thanks @yawnxyz for the last minute adorable cover art!)

@karenkingahi17 @ayeejuju This is funny 😁 for sure

@ayeejuju This is so funny 😂🤣

her downfall needs to be extensively researched

Bacteriophages in food safety This mini-documentary offers a glimpse into how bacteriophages can be applied to food safety. Countries like the USA and others already have some FDA-approved products for food safety. #Bacteriophages #FoodSafety youtu.be/s8dOmRhotVc?si…

I have a PhD opening in the lab to look at improving detection speed of viruses and bacteria in freshwater with sample processing and nanopore findaphd.com/phds/project/r…
