Some super interesting long-read metagenomics results - especially the dominance of MDR Enterococcus faecium in very sick liver patients.
Huge shout-out to the whole team and fab collaborators!
We used long-read #metagenomics to explore how the gut microbiome and #antimicrobialresistance landscape shift across advanced chronic #liverdisease (ACLD)

Working with Eliza was a joy & if you’re looking for a brilliant scientific illustrator to bring your projects to life, I can’t recommend her highly enough 🎨🧫🦠
Another #NotTheCover for the books, but in this case, it's really their loss 😋

Key takeaways:
🔹 Host ancestry + diet shape Bif evolution
🔹 Mammals enriched for carb-busting enzymes
🔹 Untapped diversity in non-human hosts = new probiotic potential
@halllab.bsky.social survey insects, reptiles, birds & mammals to uncover how Bifidobacterium adapts to hosts. Bifidobacterium & host exhibit strong co-phylogenetic associations, driven by vertical transmission & dietary selection

We show that probiotics help modulate the preterm infant 👶#microbiome - to reduce ARGs, lower MDR bacteria 🦠 & increase beneficial Bifido ✨
Huge team effort!
