Check out the AAC Journal American Society for Microbiology
Podcast hosted by Dr. Cesar Arias talking about therapy with our faculty founder Dr. Anthony Maresso, also, Dr. Saima Aslam from Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics and Dr. Vincent Fischetti from The Rockefeller University.

Topics include:
- The use of bacteriophages and their products for therapeutic purposes.
- The clinical applications of phages.
- The barriers for developing of phages as therapeutic tools to treat multidrug-resistant infections.

The emergence of antibiotic resistance has spurred a renewed interest in using bacteriophages or their products as therapeutic tools against recalcitrant human pathogens

First published phage therapy case report from our group BCMTailorLabs, first phage center in Texas Medical Center Baylor College of Medicine in .

In collaboration with the great people at Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics UC San Diego Health.

This was a patient with recurrent treated with therapy.

We rationally designed a bacteriophage cocktail to treat a 56-year-old male liver transplant patient with complex, recurrent prostate and urinary tract infections caused by an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) (UCS1). We screened our library for phages that...

Check out Dr. Justin Clark in this explainer video. Phage On Trial—Bioinformatic analysis of therapeutic phages.

A very important step before we can get approval for phage therapy through the FDA.

Thank you Phage Directory and International Bacteriophage Research Consortium for letting our team member present.

In this video Dr. Justin Clark with go through the basic bioinformatic analysis he performs in order to determine whether phages are suitable for phage thera...

Check out work from Keiko Salazar and Tailor team understanding antiviral resistance mechanisms and counter mechanisms. Important work for the therapy field.

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), often multidrug resistant (MDR), is a leading cause of urinary tract and systemic infections. The crisis of emergent MDR pathogens has led some to propose bacteriophages as a therapeutic. However, bacterial resistance to phage is a concerning issu...

Thank you Houston Chronicle for mentioning our efforts to detect in sewage. The expansion of our sewage sources has meant more resources to find life-giving viruses bacteriophages for people in need of phage therapy.

Houston’s wastewater examination has led to additional resources — COVID tests,...

Thank you for joining us from all over the world to hear Justin's talk.

Many of you may be going to bed. But if you have more questions on bioinformatics follow us and DM us or contact us too [email protected]. We are happy answer!! 😀

Check out our new video on phage purification. This is the method we use to make highly pure phage.

Other steps are needed to ensure safety and sterility for patient use!

In this video you will learn how to purify a bacteriophage using cesium chloride purification. Link to protocolhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1chrbAUFDjw...
