This study identifies novel prophage inducers through high-throughput screening, revealing that bleomycin is a potent and broad-spectrum inducer across multiple phages and bacterial hosts.

This study shows that temperate phages can enhance antibiotic effectiveness in vivo using C. elegans, demonstrating 'temperate phage antibiotic synergy' (tPAS) by reducing phage dormancy and improving infection outcomes.

This paper introduces micro-plaque assays to improve phage isolation and characterization, showing they can isolate 21 unique phages from one sample and identify phage susceptibility in clinical strains.
