Are bacteria and #phages foes or friends? How truly do we understand the oldest relationship in history of life? @pubmed says there are ~7x more review papers published than original research (84,742 vs 10,259) in last 5 yrs? How long until #phagetherapy becomes everyday reality?

🚨 🧬 Updated preprint on the completed BASEL collection - what's new? Some fun with bacterial immunity and a new P22 relative infecting E. coli K-12. A thread 🧵

New paper with @theMaxwellLab :
Phage reprogramming of Pseudomonas aeruginosa amino acid metabolism drives efficient phage replication

In addition, we now include phage CurroJimenez (Bas106) to represent genus Lederbergvirus aka P22-like phages, probably the most iconic phages targeting enterobacteria through O-antigen recognition. 🎣🧫

How are phages cleared from the bloodstream? We learned that serum factors but not neutrophils help clear phages. Thanks to Rob McBride and our terrific team of collaborators.

🎙️New Podovirus episode! So fun to chat w/Jesus (@EligoBio's VP technology)
- Microbiome therapeutics: hype or not?
- How do you make phages deliver genes to live microbes?
- Is this tool just as cool as a perturbing device (to ASK Qs) as it is a therapeutic?
🧬 93% editing efficiency in mouse gut E. coli with a single dose of a phage-derived base editor?
@EligoBio just made this a reality!

Check it out! Bacterial receptor, metabolism, and biofilm genes but not immune defense genes determine lytic phage host range for 2 phages and 80 Pseudomonas clinical isolates. Big thanks to

A common question I receive is how antibacterial #phage #lysins can be produced in a bacterial host. Therefore, we wrote a comparative guide to expression systems for phage lysin production by @emmacremelie and @rvazqf portlandpress.com/essaysbioc…

.@KatrineWhiteson (@UCIrvine) has been awarded a Pilot Program grant for #phagetherapy research by the @SSIHI_OC to develop and refine #phage therapy protocols for treating antibiotic-resistant infections.
