Bacteriophage cocktail in drinking water suppresses systemic avian pathogenic Escherichia coli infection and pathology in laying hens.

High‑MOI phages cut APEC morbidity and mortality by 20–30%. Oral delivery worked best, removed lesions, lowered histology scores, and the cocktail stayed active without harming the cecal microbiota.

"Scientists Watched Viruses Attack Bacteria in Space. Things Got Weird

'Microbes continue to evolve under microgravity, and they do so in ways that are not always predictable.

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low orbit of Earth. And research out today finds that bacteriophages—the viruses that prey on bacteria—can behave quite peculiarly in space.

Scientists studied how phages interacted with Escherichia coli bacteria aboard the ISS and compared them to pairs grown on Earth. The space-dwelling phages took longer to infect their hosts, while both the bacteria and viruses developed unusual mutations in response to each other and the microgravity conditions of the ISS, they found. The findings also suggest that phages in space could develop mutations useful to humans back home."

An article published in the journal "Microbiology Spectrum" reports the results of experiments based on the use of genetically modified #bacteriophage #viruses to combat strains of Escherichia coli #bacteria that developed resistance to various antibiotics. These findings offer a way to neutralize these bacteria and new insights into the interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria.
