Isolation and characterization of novel Klebsiella phages from Benin and their antibiofilm activities on multidrug resistant and hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae

The paper isolates and characterizes three novel Klebsiella phages from Benin that inhibit biofilm formation in multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent K. pneumoniae strains.

Isolation and characterisation of Lytic Jumbo Klebsiella phage BMPCR_005026

The paper isolates and characterizes a new jumbo Klebsiella phage, BMCPR_005026, identifying it as a new species within the Alcyoneusvirus genus with limited host range.

Bacteriophage genomics: What has five years of INPHARED taught us?

The paper compares INPHARED database snapshots from 2021 to 2026, showing growth in phage genomes but reduced novel species diversity and persistent host bias.

Large scale antibiotic-phage synergy studies reveal key combinations for urinary tract infection and urosepsis treatments

This study screens phage-antibiotic combinations in clinical isolates to identify synergistic interactions for treating resistant infections.

Rolling out plaque-2-sequence: a single plaque sequencing approach enabling rapid, low-cost sequencing of phages directly from plaques

This paper introduces plaque-2-sequence, a low-cost, high-throughput method for sequencing phage genomes directly from plaques, enabling rapid and scalable genomic analysis of phages.

In-vivo Efficacy of a Phage Cocktail Therapy that Targets ESBL-producing Klebsiella species that cause Urinary Tract Infections

This study evaluates a phage cocktail's efficacy against ESBL-producing Klebsiella UTIs in mice, showing reduced bacterial burden and inflammation.
