The scientific commitment to building an army of #phages against #superbugs remains firm and an international consortium has just received €1.2 million from the European Union to deepen our knowledge of these #bacteria-eating viruses.

An army of viruses against superbugs: Science revives phages to combat antibiotic resistance

Thousands of treated patients support the potential of phage therapy, but limited knowledge of this technique and its regulatory complexity hinder its expansion

Adaptive loss of tRNA gene expression leads to phage resistance in a marine Synechococcus cyanobacterium - Nature Microbiology

Depletion of host LeuTAA tRNA levels prevents the translation of key cyanophage genes during infection and represents a passive, intracellular mode of resistance with implications for co-evolution.
