History of Phage Therapy — ThePhageCollectionProject Phage therapy is not a recent discovery; it dates back to the early 20th century, with two scientists making impactful discoveries within two years of each other. But research priorities shifted towar...

🔬 To celebrate World Phage Week, this month's issue of the Phage Collection Blog, written by Hana, explores the history of phage therapy. Thanks to @danielarothschild.bsky.social for providing the cover image, showcasing phage ROTH78.

phages installation for the British Science Festival

Visitors to our #BritishScienceFestival stand created their own phage drawings which were then converted into AR models. These were used to target bacteria in a prototype of our AR phage game. Developed with Feed AR & @salforduni.bsky.social #worldphageweek

Part 1 of a poem by a visitor, it reads: I am a happy bacterium But now on my skin I feel the tiny touches Of something fearful Trying to come in Oh help! I cry What will become of me? I'm defenceless, and this phage wants its tea!

Part 2 of poem by visitor, it reads: But WHY am I defenceless still? Do I exist only so phages can kill? Surely my armour can soon improve, And my sword can soon these phages remove!

Where can #phages be found? The answer is everywhere! We are working closely with @citizenphage.bsky.social asking the public to help us find new phages by collecting water samples. Find out more about becoming a phage hunter at www.citizenphage.com #worldphageweek #phagetherapy

The bacteriophage: is the enemy of our enemy a friend? In this episode of Microbe Talk, Policy and Engagement Officer Katie talks to Professor Martha Clokie about bacteriophages, how they can be used to treat infection and potentially even combat antimicr

Today marks the start of #WorldPhageWeek, spotlighting research into the bacteria-killing phage and its potential for treating infections.

Listen here to an episode of Microbe Talk with Prof Martha Clokie about her work in bringing phage to the forefront of the fight against AMR 🎧

Our latest work, out today in PLOSBiology suggests that not only do mammalian cells absorb bacteriophages, but they appear to use them as a resource to enhance growth!

This work was led by PhD Marion Bichet and is out on World Phage Week! #WorldPhageWeek

Did you know it's #worldphageweek? Phages are an incredible resource to tackle #antimicrobialresistance #AMR
