EUCAST to establish phage susceptibility testing (PST) Europe is taking a significant step towards bringing bacteriophage therapy closer to routine clinical use by establishing phage susceptibility testing

EUCAST has established a dedicated Phage Susceptibility Testing (PST) Subcommittee. The group will focus on developing harmonised laboratory approaches to evaluate the activity of therapeutic phages.

Golden Gate method enables fully-synthetic engineering of therapeutically relevant bacteriophages Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has seen a resurgence. However, the field remains largely limited to naturally occurring strains, as laborious strain engineering techniques have limited the pace of discovery and the creation of tailored therapeutic strains.

Ancient virus warriors—bacteriophages—are making a comeback! 🦠 Facing antibiotic resistance, scientists seek to engineer these tiny healers. ✨ #PhageTherapy

Phages with fully-synthetic DNA can be edited gene by gene A team led by University of Pittsburgh's Graham Hatfull has developed a method to construct bacteriophages with entirely synthetic genetic material, allowing researchers to add and subtract genes at will. The findings open the field to new pathways for understanding how these bacteria-killing viruses work, and for potential therapy of bacterial infections.
