Researchers report in Science that infected bacteria surprisingly fight back with “hidden” genes that halt cell growth, slowing viral spread. The results highlight the potential for other “hidden” genes to be unearthed in different biological contexts. scim.ag/81v

Important new research with big implications for understanding babies' #microbiomes & the role of #breastmilk in their development. Congrats Dr Trevor Lawley, Yan Shao & team! 👏🏻 nature.com/articles/s4156…

💊 Antibiotics damage the gut barrier via impaired mucus production independently of the microbiota. A consideration for those using antibiotic induced depletion of the microbiome in mice science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢Proud to share our new paper!📢 It all began with a conversation about germ-free animals having small litters and no one really knew why. Here we define a role for microbiota in the ovarian reserve and trade-offs between growth and reproduction. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Breastfeeding provides many health benefits, partly mediated by its microbiome. .Prof. Meghan Azad, PhD & colleagues CHILD Cohort Study found maternal genetics determined HMO composition, which in turn was associated with the respiratory health of human milk-fed infants: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our paper is finally out at Nature Microbiology. A team effort discovering Tailocin cell factories. Listeria monocytogenes bacteria produce and store ~6000 tailocins per cell in a remarkable way. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Before the #UNGA high-level meeting on #AMR, nature consulted healthcare experts from around the world to share their insights on the most effective solutions for their countries or regions. Give it a read here: nature.com/articles/d4158… #GlobalHealth #DrugResistance #UNGA79

Can we map gut inflammation with ultrasound? Yes, using probiotic biosensors! 🔊 Imagine drinking a "diagnostic yogurt" and getting an ultrasound instead of endoscopy or colonoscopy 😁. Congrats to Marjorie Buss and collaborators on this advance. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

What your brain's microbiome means for your health? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, as there is none. And no, brain microbiomes play also no role in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's. This article is not based on scientific information that is credible.

How do you distill #microbiome complexity into ecologically meaningful units? Clear away the confusion with MICROBIOME FOR DUMMIES: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ia…
