Q&A: Favorite phage production equipment
This week we're trying something new — let's call it Phage Community Q&A! You send us your questions, we send you off-the-cuff answers. This week, Jess shares her favorite phage-making equipment in response to a researcher who's setting up a phage therapy center in her lab.

- How to get successful outcomes with phage therapy"When I first treated, we had no idea how much to give, how often to give... we weren't aware of what the concentration of phage should be." IPATH's Dr. Saima Aslam shares how eight years of treating patients has taught her team to achieve consistent success with phage therapy, and why the next decade will make or break the field.
- Our Phage Picks for Aug 2025It’s Phage Picks time! This week, we highlight some new mind-expanding papers — one showing how phage killing might train the immune system like vaccines, one unpacking how temperate phages rewrite bacterial flagella with RNA-guided tools, and another showing how an explainable machine learning model can teach us about the biology of our bacterial strains.
- C&T Round Up for July 2025!This month, we explored how Canada's first successful prosthetic joint infection phage therapy case is leading up to a full clinical trial; plus Jessica wrote a guide/manifesto(?) about why you should sequence (and re-sequence) your phages.
- You should sequence your phagesWhen's the last time you sequenced the phages in your lab? Have you ever, or are you relying on what someone said they were? You might be like 12/13 phage labs and have secret mixtures masquerading as pure phages. You should sequence your phages.
