Lethal permeabilization of host bacteria to small-molecule compounds during phage penetration - Nature Communications
Tailed phages inject their genomic DNA across the bacterial envelope to initiate infection. Here, the authors show that phage DNA translocation, combined with certain small molecules, triggers rapid a...

I am thrilled to share the first manuscript from the Wiles lab! We present "Phollow", an in vivo phage-tagging approach that enables direct observation of phage outbreaks with single-virion resolution by live imaging. Here some highlights 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Phollow reveals in situ phage transmission dynamics in the zebrafish gut microbiome at single-virion resolution
Nature Microbiology - ‘Phollow’ is a live imaging-based fluorescence tagging approach that can track phage replication and spread in situ with single-virion resolution.
