Are viruses the key to fighting infections?
We are running out of ammunition against certain infections, as bacteria increasingly evade the antibiotics we’ve relied on for nearly a century. Could bacteriophages – viruses that hunt and kill bacteria – be part of the solution?
In 2019, CrowdScience travelled to Georgia where bacteriophages, al…
First images from the James Webb Space Telescope

Episode 142: The bacteriophage: is the enemy of our enemy a friend?
In this episode of Microbe Talk, Policy and Engagement Officer Katie talks to Professor Martha Clokie about bacteriophages, how they can be used to treat infection and potentially even combat antimicrobial resistance. You can read our full response to the government inquiry on the antimicrobial po…
Bacteriophages
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the most abundant lifeform on Earth: the viruses that 'eat' bacteria. Early in the 20th century, scientists noticed that something in their Petri dishes was making bacteria disappear and they called these bacteriophages, things that eat bacteria. From studying thes…

Turning the phage: viruses that can kill superbugs (revisited)
Bacteriophages, or “phages”, are viruses that can infect bacteria. With the number of bacteria that can evade antibiotics growing worryingly large, interest in using phages as therapies against drug-resistant infections has been rising. As we reported in 2023, phages have been used in Georgia for o…
Going Viral
Cold and flu season is well and truly upon us, and whilst most of us are busy bemoaning the pesky viruses behind our sniffles and chesty coughs – one of our listeners has other ideas. Elizabeth wants to know whether we’re too hard on these oft-maligned microbes? We’ve all heard that some bacteria c…
Just A Phage
