New study by @mucosalimmunology.bsky.social (Dunn School and @ethzurich.bsky.social) with Médéric Diard (@biozentrum.unibas.ch) reveals how combining vaccines with friendly bacteria can boost vaccination efficacy and potentially reduce reliance on antibiotics www.path.ox.ac.uk/news-article...

Excellent work by @tcahitch.bsky.social ⭐ and there is even more to come very soon... 🔥

Ever wondered if we are correctly predicting proteins from metagenomes? If so, we are happy to present our new work improving the prediction of proteins from the human gut microbiome: www.nature.com/articles/s41...! We corrected how each taxon's proteins are predicted and found WAY more proteins!

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 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New preprint !🔥! By our next rising ⭐ @treichelnicole.bsky.social with @tcahitch.bsky.social. Mock communities are helpful to benchmark methods in microbiome research. Species and strain diversity with metagenome-assembled genomes is inflated 😮: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

With no obvious causes and consequences, infantile colics can still be very distressing for parents. Here, authors suggest a gut microbiota contribution to colic in >1000 infants in KOALA cohort + higher levels of milk HMOs linked to less early constipation. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
