Welcome to PhageLine. This week we will focus on using specific phage proteins called endolysins instead of whole phages to fight bacteria by discussing the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of an engineered endolysin targeting Gram-negative pathogens. Have fun! This episode was generated using artificial intelligence. An infectious disease researcher reviewed the contents of the episode.

Welcome to PhageLine. In this week's episode, we will focus on one of the biggest phage papers in 2024: a multicentre, multinational, retrospective observational study of personalized bacteriophage therapy outcomes for 100 consecutive cases headed by Jean-Paul Pirnay and Sarah Djebara. This episode was generated using artificial intelligence. An infectious disease researcher reviewed the conte...

Welcome to PhageLine. In this week's episode, we will discuss bacteriophage-based biosensor technology by discussing the review Bacteriophage-based biosensors technology: Materials, fabrications, efficiencies and shortcomings (Haq et al. , 2025 Biotechnology Reports) .

Welcome to PhageLine. In this week's episode, we will discuss the isolation and characterization of phages with clinical relevance from environmental sources. This week's papers are: Isolation of a lytic bacteriophage against extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections and its dramatic effect in rat model of burn infection (Ghaznavi-Rad et al. 2022 JCLA) Isolation and cha...

Hello and welcome to PhageLine - your line to everything phage. This podcast is where we discuss exciting research papers on bacteriophages once a week. To get started let's get a general overview of the topic by talking through a review by Kortright et al. from 2019 (last author Paul E. Turner), titled "Phage Therapy: A Renewed Approach to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria" . This...
