Phage lovers! Introducing Phage-Induced Immunity (PHI-II). This discovery suggests that some phage can not only treat an existing infection (well known) but they can also immunize to prevent a future infection (new finding). Read about the adventure here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

TAILΦR Milestone! Dosed our first patient with @bwtrautner.bsky.social in an academic-led clinical trial (NCT06559618). The phages were discovered, manufactured, tested, FDA approved and now administered in one location by one team, an end-to-end miracle we hope will counter the AMR crisis. Dream!

Another example of how wastewater sequencing is going to positively impact Public Health. TEPHI's Outbreak Detection program shows once more the sensitivity and specificity of agnostic sequencing .... ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2...

The measles outbreak continues in Texas and beyond. We have been tracking the virus with wastewater via TexWEB. Vaccines are the most cost-effective way to prevent outbreaks. The below graph shows the power of the vaccine to stop measles.
