Phages may drive microbial diversity, yet we often don’t even know how phages & bacteria correlate in nature. Our new study tackles this in the honeybee gut, thanks to the great work of PhD student @malickndiaye.bsky.social at @dmf-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social

We 👉🏻@nanamikubota.bsky.social show that these Pf phages can go ROGUE.

lab! In the first, we uncover a new mechanism of satellite transfer: cf-PICIs hijack tails from diverse phages to spread across species.

By targeting these dominant bacteria, these phages create opportunities for other bacterial species to re-colonize, ultimately helping to regain diversity in the gut!

Deltaviruses spread through a viral Trojan Horse !
These viral satellites that do not encode their own glycoproteins, are in fact physically encapsulated within their helper virus particles!

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.

2.4 million lives were saved by the COVID vaccines in the first 8 months alone.
COVID vaccines prevented >18.5 million US hospitalizations, 3.2 million deaths and saved $1.15 trillion in the US alone

CARDs are essential for caspase recruitment during human inflammasome activation. We now find them in bacterial immune systems
Congrats Tana Wein! Thank you Kranzusch lab!
