🧬 New paper: SARS‑CoV‑2 doesn’t just disrupt the microbiome: it reshapes the phageome.
@siddharthstomar & @CsirEvc share their findings showing phage richness skyrockets in infected individuals (79 vs. 28 genera), bacterial diversity drops. Read more: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

New paper🧬
This review summarises recent advancements in the field of holins and spanins, membrane-disrupting lysis proteins that essentially act as the “clock” of the phage infection cycle, and potential next-gen therapeutics.

✨New paper
K. pneumoniae persists up to 24 h on hospital surfaces, with persistence at 24°C. Osorio et al. from Columbia show a 3‑phage cocktail delivers ~5‑log killing in 6 h and prevents disinfectant‑linked regrowth.
