Whitney Greene (Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, Florida) and colleagues published a paper in the Journal of Aquatic Animal Health describing the successful treatment of Shelley* the sea turtle with phages!

*Some of you may remember us asking the community for help sourcing phages for Shelley's infection back on New Year's Eve of 2018. We though no one would reply, because hey, it was NYE! But it ended up being one of our most popular tweets, and it led to finding multiple phage labs willing to help search their collections for Citrobacter freundii phages to help treat this turtle's years-long shell infection. Another amazing success for the phage community!
