Abstract
The 2025 Conference on Bacteriophages: Biology, Dynamics, and Therapeutics, supported by the International Antiviral Society–USA, brought over 250 researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators from 17 countries to Washington, DC, from October 12 – 14, 2025. The meeting emphasized collaboration across the full spectrum of phage science—from molecular biology to clinical translation—reflecting a field rapidly translating novel biological insights from the laboratory into clinical applications. This summary provides highlights of the 43 oral and 97 poster presentations made during this 2.5-day conference.
