Copenhagen-based SNIPR Biome raised €35 million in Series B funding to advance CRISPR-based therapies targeting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in infections linked to cystic fibrosis and cancer. Backed by investors like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the capital will accelerate clinical trials fo...

If you found a phage what would you name it?

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, an inhaled phage cocktail was well tolerated in adults with cystic fibrosis and chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, with evidence of lung delivery and signs of bacterial reduction.

This is important. When medically important antibiotics are used in the food chain, it promotes the growth of bacteria that are resistant to them. Those bacteria swap these antimicrobial resistance genes with other bacteria and over time, fewer and fewer antibiotics work to kill bacterial infections in people, animals and even aquaculture. Agribusiness is a major lobby. Get informed, put your purchasing power to work, and avoid companies that have not lived up to their pledge to get antibiotics out of the food chain. Speaking from personal experience, your life or someone you care about may depend on it.

Report: Most fast-food chains aren't making the grade on antibiotic policies

The report, which graded 20 restaurant chains on antibiotic use policies in the meat they serve, gave 6 chains a D and 5 an F.

Sad to see that so many countries still have major regulatory hurdles to overcome to make phage therapy more widely available. Here is a good overview of the current situation in the U.K.

We have had >2500 requests for phage therapy at the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics, since we opened in June 2018. Some of these requests come from ppl asking if phage can treat cancer. Up until now, the answer was "No, I'm so sorry". But today, it's a whole new ballgame. Here's a new protocol published in one of the top journals in science, using phage as a nano-vehicle for delivering cancer treatment.

This protocol covers the production and construction of new-generation transmorphic phage/adeno-associated virus vectors for the systemic delivery of nucleic acid payloads. In vitro and in vivo applications of transmorphic phage/adeno-associated virus particles are also discussed.

It feels a little surreal to have your own story included in someone else's book, but life is a little strange these days. Lina Zeldovich is the author of the new narrative non-fiction book "LIVING MEDICINE", and yes, it's all about phage therapy. Really honored to be included in its pages and blurbs. Highly recommended!

Wow, jazzed to see that Dr. Sanjay Gupta turned his CNN episode from VITAL SIGNS into a podcast that features our story!

Antibiotics have been hailed as a
