#phagetherapy — Public Fediverse posts

Excited to share our new preprint on bacteriophage engineering 🦠 🎨

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.20.706991v1

We establish a genomics-guided approach for inferring receptor-binding protein compatibility, which may guide host retargeting of therapeutic bacteriophage scaffolds. #AMR, #phagetherapy

For the FOSS-minded folks here: we also released the R package tailor which we used for key parts of the analysis: https://github.com/sbthandras/tailor

Researchers develop a way to make lifesaving #phages accessible, transportable and much easier to use
When #antibiotics fail, #bacteriophages can often save lives, but determining which ones will work and sourcing them is haphazard

For Throwback Thursday, an episode of the @EMBO Podcast on the clinical use of #phage to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infection - with a brief stop at the Siege of Leningrad.
Featuring pediatric infectious disease physician Ameneh Khatami, historian Dmitriy Myelnikov, and Jessica Sacher of Phage Directory.
