Data mining reveals the diversity of prophage endolysins targeting pathogenic enterococci

This study identifies 33 distinct domain architectures of prophage endolysins from enterococci, including a novel cell wall-binding domain, to expand the diversity of potential enzybiotics against multidrug-resistant infections.

How many phage species remain undiscovered? Species sampling approaches to inform phage discovery

The paper estimates how many new phage species can be discovered based on existing databases and identifies changes in species abundance over time.

Characterisation of novel bacteriophages against the cattle pathogen Moraxella bovis

The paper isolates and characterizes four novel bacteriophages against Moraxella bovis, finding high genomic similarity among three and distinct properties in MB43.

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.
