This study evaluates the respiratory safety of two Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages in human and mouse models, finding no adverse effects on epithelial integrity or inflammation.

This study compares long-read and short-read whole genome sequencing for bacteriophage characterization, finding both platforms produce high-quality genomes with comparable completeness.

This study identifies genomic features influencing phage activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and develops a machine learning classifier to predict phage-host outcomes.

This study compares animal-free and traditional media for phage propagation, finding no significant differences in yield, activity, or genomic characteristics.

The paper compares gene expression and co-expression network structure between amniotic epithelium and newborn nasal epithelium, finding significant overlap and suggesting amniotic tissue as a surrogate for respiratory epithelium studies.
