The passing of Betty Kutter deeply saddens us. Her kindness, generosity, and passion for phages shaped generations of scientists and our entire community. Her legacy lives on through the collaborations and friendships she inspired. Thank you, Betty. We will miss you. 💙

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

I am particularly proud of this one. I really want to thank @azeredo_joana for the support and all co-workers, specially @mdanielafsilva for all the efforts. It is great to see these results after several years of effort.
It is finally out. In our most recent study we used RNA-seq to demonstrate that phage SEP1 activates late stationary phase cells. @mdanielafsilva @MGraca_Pinto @azeredo_joana @MeloLDR #Staphylococcus #phage #msystems journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10…

Interested about Coagulase-negative staphylococci phages? In our latest review you can be updated 🙂
Curious about phages that target CoNS? Our latest study provides a comparative genomic analysis and in vitro assessments of their therapeutic potential. @MariaSequeira_L @mdanielafsilva @azeredo_joana @MeloLDR doi.org/10.1016/j.micres.202… #phage #staphylococcus #CoNS

Our paper is now online! We performed a transcriptomic analysis of both exponential and stationary cells infected with SEP1 phage, showing that SEP1 hijacks stationary cells metabolism to replicate. Thanks to all co-authors, particularly to @MeloLDR – at Braga, Portugal

Happy to be at Edinburgh for the #microbio24 conference. I'll present our RNA-seq analysis of exponential and stationary cells infected with the SEP1 phage tomorrow at 12:30 in the 'Therapeutics: the use of bacteriophages, viruses and viral components' session 😊 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
