This hospital-specific phage cocktail can be replicated across many institutions and pathogens, and we hope it will improve treatment outcomes for patients suffering from these multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.

Jeremy Barr @jeremyjbarr.bsky.social · 14d

We believe this approach offers a strong middle-ground between personalised phage therapy and broader spectrum antimicrobial agents.

In this work, we developed, for the first time, a phage cocktail personalised to a hospital's multidrug-resistant pathogen profile. This product, which we call Entelli-02, offers a frontline treatment option against Enterobacter infections that are resistant to most antibiotics.

Hurray, it is finally out! Meet bacteriophage Bxb1 - the subject of my first full-phage cryo-EM study. My structures are beautifully complemented by the Park Lab’s cryo-ET analysis, shedding light on mycobacteriophage structural changes during infection.
