#WeekendRead! #MicrobiotaPower! @mucosalimmunology.bsky.social Diard Lentsch &co show @science.org oral vaccination combined with a pathogen competitor microbial strain prophylactically or therapeutically protects against Salmonella or Coli via competing for energy substrates & CD4 T-dependent IgA!
Vaccine-enhanced competition permits rational bacterial strain replacement in the gut
Colonization of the intestinal lumen precedes invasive infection for a wide range of enteropathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. We show that combining oral vaccination with engineered or ...

We wanted to make something a bit abstract that tries to represent MuSpAn, using the MuSpAn package itself. In the end, we thought it'd be fun to add it to our list of tutorials! (docs.muspan.co.uk/latest/tutor...)

You can follow the process of making it here:
