Really happy to see the final version of our paper is now out in PLOS Pathogens! We investigated whether the evolutionary relationships between bacterial 🦠 hosts could explain variation in #susceptibility to infection with a #bacteriophage. 🧵1/8 tinyurl.com/bdhejf8z

Surprising association between particulate matter #air pollution and AMR based on a global analysis. Work from Zhenchao Zhou, Hong Chen & colleagues from Zhejiang University and Ibrahim Xiaoliang Ba at Cambridge University Cambridge University published today doi.org/10.1016/S2542-…

So good to see this finally out. Thanks particularly to Chris Ruis for making this work, even though he didn't believe it would when I first suggested it to him. nature.com/articles/s4146…
