Nice paper on the temporal dynamics of early infancy. Once again, it was shown that Escherichia & Klebsiella correlate with higher ARG load, and their abundance is in turn negatively associated with Bifidos. Kudos to the authors for the excellent paper!

🍼 Antibiotic resistance starts early

A study of infant gut bacteria found antibiotic resistance genes appear within the first week of life, peaking at 6 months.

Thrilled to share our #Comment in @natmicrobiol.nature.com
A collaborative effort by a fantastic group of researchers across disciplines!

💬We explored how interdisciplinary microbiology can thrive when early-career researchers are included and supported.

Soil is the most diverse microbial ecosystem, which makes microbiome studies with shotgun sequencing extremely tricky!
In our last paper @imetascience.bsky.social, we show that co-assembly increases gene and genome recovery

@theipcinfo.bsky.social warns: the worst-case scenario of #famine is unfolding in #Gaza.

Mass starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.

@who.int calls for urgent access for food and medical aid into Gaza at scale.

Ceasefire.
