- Temperate phage biology is HARD. We cant using traditional PFU plating (due to superinfection immunity), most isolates were poly-lysogens, equipment required is expensive and technically limiting, and the methods to study these phage had not been developed.

Im really excited for this work as it sets up a platform for us to study, characterise, and eventually determine what impacts temperate phages may have on the human gut microbiome. Future work may even allow us to manipulate the gut using these unique viruses.

We believe this approach offers a strong middle-ground between personalised phage therapy and broader spectrum antimicrobial agents.

This hospital-specific phage cocktail can be replicated across many institutions and pathogens, and we hope it will improve treatment outcomes for patients suffering from these multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.

The T-series bacteriophages have impacted my career and are microbes our lab's research continues to use as model organisms.

Our lab was featured on the RRR Radio show @einstein_agogo to talk about recent phage research and its application to treat antibiotic-resistant infections
Have a listen!

Nature News piece on the hidden players of the gut microbiome (hint, they're phages, of course)
“Our virome is hugely abundant and incredibly diverse, and we’ve looked at just a tiny percentage,”

How are phages cleared from the bloodstream? We learned that serum factors but not neutrophils help clear phages. Thanks to Rob McBride and our terrific team of collaborators.

This weekend @stephh_lynch represented @PhageAustralia at #SanDiego International Film Festival discussing our #phagetherapy initiatives & showcasing @Emma_WattsTV @SBS documentary - "Last chance to save a live" in 🇦🇺
@Iredell_Lab treated his first patient with #phage in 2007.
ALT Dr Stephanie Lynch attended the San Diego International Film Festival representing Phage Australia to discuss our effort on #Phagetherapy as part of showcasing of Emma Watt's documentary: Last Chance to Save a Life. This documentary followed in real time, two teams based in Sydney and Melbourne respectively, how phage therapy was implemented. To date, >50 patients have been (are being) treated with phage/s by the Phage Australia team at Westmead team and its affiliated hospital network. >25 patients are treated under the STAMP protocol (standardised therapeutic monitoring of patients treated with phage in adults and kids).
