AMR already causes millions of deaths annually & could cost the global economy trillions in lost GDP. Phages offer real potential as a natural, targeted way to fight drug-resistant infections, to help protect the future of medicine.
Rising temperatures and extreme weather are worsening antimicrobial resistance, boosting bacterial growth & resistance rates, according to this research in the EMJ. Full study here: emjreviews.com/microbiology-…
Phages are everywhere – in soil, oceans, and the human body – quietly keeping bacterial populations in check. 🌍
At NexaBiome, we’re harnessing phages to fight infections where antibiotics are falling short, including to treat diabetic foot infections.
Scientists are testing if farms can replace up to 50% of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser with biological phage-based alternatives – highlighting the multitude of benefits bacteriophages have to offer.

Finding your perfect match this Valentine’s Day ❤️
In phage therapy, it’s not about chemistry.
It’s about precision.
We use machine learning to match the right phage to the right bacteria, because when it comes to fighting AMR, compatibility matters.
Meet the phage Top Trump Card.
Phages are being explored as precision tools against antibiotic-resistant infections because they can kill superbugs antibiotics can’t.
On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the women shaping discovery.
Here are some of Scotland’s remarkable female scientists whose legacy continues to inspire innovation. Their impact is felt across research and medicine today.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest global challenges we face. Combining bacteriophages with antibiotics can offer a powerful, synergistic approach to tackle drug-resistant infections: nexabiome.com/blog/understan…
International Space Station experiments show microgravity changes how bacteria & phages infect and evolve, creating phages that may better fight drug-resistant infections on Earth: qazinform.com/news/bacteria-…
Today is World Cancer Day, a reminder of the progress made and the work still ahead.
Engineered bacteriophages are being explored for targeted cancer therapies, from drug delivery to immune activation.
🔬 But continued research and collaboration are key.
