If you're still at #MircoBio25, head down to poster 89 and catch up with all the work that @phoebecrossley.bsky.social is up to as part of her PhD in my lab #microsky #vaginalmicrobiome

Genes predicted to be involved in functions at the cell envelope were enriched in L. crispatus, including S-layer and mucin binding associated genes.

Comparative analysis for either L. crispatus or L. iners MAGs shows that there is strain level diversity within these species. Despite a relatively homogenous population 4 major clades were found in L. crispatus, driven mainly by diversity in the accessory genome.

Lots of high quality metagenomic assembled genomes (MAGs) recovered from 354 vaginal samples - mainly Lactobacillus crispatus, L. iners, L. jensenii, and Gardneralla vaginalis.

Wonderful talks from the new PhD students in Bacteriology here at the School of Infection & Immunity @UniversityofGlasgow
Introducing Megan Smith-Cerdán, Phoebe Crossley, Alejandra Diaz de Aguinaga & Emily Tonge. Lots of exciting science underway.

We noticed that Lactobacillus jensenii dominant metagenomes were different between preterm and full-term birth in our recent dataset (DOI: 10.1038/s41522-020-00162-8). So we cultured & sequenced isolates🦠and recovered high-quality metagenome assembled genomes (MAGS) (2/n)
