Antibiotic perturbation of the human gut phageome preserves its individuality and promotes blooms of virulent phages
Antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome leads to a transient loss of microbiome diversity (bacterial and viral) and causes blooms of bacteria and their viruses. Our analysis suggests that ...

Starting my journey from Australia to Heidelberg 🇩🇪 to the @embl.org Human Microbiome conference

It’s not every day we get the chance of 4 days of human microbiome research 🤩🤩🤩 I’m so excited

Still chance to attend it online 👇

Do people in the same household share strains when they have the same species?

How many cells transmit when a strain is shared?
Can strain composition be dynamic when species composition is stable?

We answer these and related questions for the facial skin microbiome in our latest paper.

Wow! Our paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com has just surpassed 10,000 views in less than a month!! a rare feat for a #plant #microbiome study! We argue that seed-borne bacteria are the architects of the wheat rhizobiome. Thanks to everyone who’s been engaging with our work :) doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A sequential propagation strategy shows how the microbes initially on seeds are key to building complex, reproducible and heritable plant microbiomes.

Delighted our study (7+ years in the making) is out today in Nature. In a nutshell, 48 hours of antibiotics in week 1 led to impaired vaccine responses up to 15 months later in infants. We show (in-vivo) a probiotic can fix it #microbiome #science #immunology
