🧵 How does being a #vegan, #vegetarian or omnivore impact your gut #microbiome? 🥦 Find out in our new paper on gut microbiome signatures of vegan, vegetarian & omnivore diets & associated health outcomes across 21,561 individuals in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social!🎉 1/10 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We showed that #metaproteomics based "Stable isotope fingerprinting can directly link intestinal microorganisms with their carbon source and captures diet-induced substrate switching in vivo" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Great work by Angie Mordant and Alfredo Blakeley-Ruiz @alfredob.bsky.social

Gearing up vs the potential of building "mirror life" A looming danger of bioengineered reversed-chirality bacteria and microbes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @science.org

Glad to share our preprint 🏃 **LongTrack**: long read metagenomics-based precise tracking of bacterial strains (and their genomic changes!) after 💩 fecal microbiota transplantation. A 4+ years journey and tour de force by ** @yufan01.bsky.social ** & team. A long 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"Combinatorial, additive and dose-dependent drug–microbiome associations" by @inanna-nalytica.bsky.social investigates data from patients with cardiovascular disease within the MetaCardis consortium to disentangle the effect of drug combinations and other confounders (2021) www.nature.com/artic...

Resistance to one antibiotic can make bacteria resistant or sensitive to another antibiotic, opening paths for combinatorial treatments. A study in Nature Microbiology presents an approach to systematically discover and understand such antibiotic relationships. https://go.nature.com/49of3Mk 🧪

A study in Scientific Reports finds that both high fruit and high vegetable intake were associated with lower depressive symptoms in people over 45 years old. Only moderate vegetable intakes were associated with lower depressive symptoms. https://go.nature.com/3ZDOIGL 🧪

How Lactiplantibacillus plantarum specifically recognizes the fruit fly foregut as a distinct physical niche? Cool paper on host-microbiota interaction in @science.org : www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... And a nice summary, aptly titled ‘Home Sweet Home’: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New paper: We show that population exposure to colibactin producing E. coli lineages ST95 and ST73 largely explains global variation in colorectal cancer incidence. Same STs are also major causes of UTIs and may be similarly involved in urinary tract cancers. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thrilled to share my latest research paper! It reveals how a high-fat diet may induce prolonged sorbitol intolerance following antibiotic-induced microbial depletion. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
