If you want to improve promiscuity and yield of Pseudomonas aeruginosa for production of phages, start by taking out its restriction modification system: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Eliminating the type I restriction endonuclease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 for optimised phage isolation
Phage therapy is a promising treatment for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Due to their high host specificity, phages must be matched to the target clinical strains. Efficiently identifying ...

On a day where the National Audit Office reported that the government was not doing enough to combat the threat of untreatable bacterial infections (www.theguardian.com/society/2025...), we met with legislators to highlight the power of phage therapy to provide new treatments to patients.

Can you explode a bacteria with a phage?

In Parliament until 1pm, committee room 4a, find out about #phages and their use in medicine with Exeter University.

Particularly crucial in age of #AMR. Other nations racing ahead, we are being left behind #PublicHealth
