Really super talk from @nicholden.bsky.social this morning exploring all things E. coli #microbio25. Lovely to consider the big picture of our favourite bug!

Bacteriophages evolve enhanced persistence to a mucosal surface - PubMed
The majority of viruses within the gut are obligate bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages (phages). Their bacteriotropism underscores the study of phage ecology in the gut, where they modulate and coevolve with gut bacterial communities. Traditionally, these ecological and evolutionary questions …

We've long been able to find new phages and figure out what they interact with. But what about the other direction: if you have a gene, like an antibiotic resistance efflux pump, or a phage defense system, and you want to find phages that do or do not interact with it? Now you can!

Starting the year off with a week in the sunshine. Beautiful view from the apartment to Mount Teide, Tenerife. Some good work news already this year so hoping 2024 will be a great one for our group!
