New research co-led by @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @kingscollegenhs.bsky.social @tum.de has found that some bacteria originating in the mouth can move to the gut and cause damage to the gut barrier that may accelerate chronic liver disease. Read more: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/new-res...

I am pleased to share that my first postdoc paper from the @halllab.bsky.social is now on bioRxiv! 🎉 We used long-read #metagenomics to explore how the gut microbiome and #antimicrobialresistance landscape shift across advanced chronic #liverdisease (ACLD) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Decoding the microbiome and resistome of advanced chronic liver disease through long-read metagenomics
Introduction - Patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) and underlying cirrhosis frequently require repeated courses of antimicrobial therapy, with both the frequency and spectrum of antimi...

This is my great new preprint with @drvishalcpatel.bsky.social and @halllab.bsky.social. We investigated the gut microbiota in patients with liver disease in which we show an increasing dominance of Enterococcus in the gut of patients with more severe liver disease. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Pathological expansion of gut microbiome-associated Enterococcus in advanced cirrhosis corresponds with multilevel perturbations of the gut-liver-immune axis
Background Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a progressive condition that, in its advanced stages, leads to cirrhosis with related clinical complications, and can lead to acute-on-chronic liver failure (...
