Very nice talk from @emmanuelkuffo15.bsky.social speaking about his hunt for Strep. suis phage at the @microbiologysociety.org young microbiologist of the year finals - and there's a pre-print up! #MicroSky

Great talk from @emmanuelkuffo15.bsky.social at #MicroSoc25

Thanks Lucy. Of course, always happy to discuss phages :)
I will send you a direct message

APC is recruiting a Post Doc to work with Prof Mahony at @ucc.ie supporting the PHARM project which aims to elucidate the specific nature of the saccharidic receptors recognised by Streptococcus thermophilus phages through a combined genetic and biochemical approach.

Big thanks to all co-authors and my colleagues who were tremendous help in getting this up. Feel free to reach out if you have any comments.

Isolation of phages infecting the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis reveals novel structural and genomic characteristics Bacteriophage research has experienced a renaissance in recent years, owing to their therapeutic potential and versatility in biotechnology, particularly in combating antibiotic resistant-bacteria alo...

The original plan was to isolate >50 phage-host combos (I naively thought this would be the straightforward bit of the project—it wasn’t). Eventually we got 2 phages tripling the number of genome-sequenced, in vitro characterised Strep. suis phages! Read about Bonnie & Clyde👇🏿
