Abstract. Even though complex microbial communities are ubiquitous and provide essential services for natural and human-associated ecosystems, our knowledg

In this Review, Iredell and colleagues examine key aspects of phage biology and their relevance to phage therapy, and outline current approaches for clinical application of phages, along with their associated challenges.

The Selfish Gene continues to challenge readers half a century later

Microbial ecologists are increasingly turning to machine learning (ML) models to better identify and predict meaningful biological patterns and relationships in molecular microbial community data (inc...

How predatory publishing led to academic renewal

An overarching goal in microbiome research is to understand how the complex communities in our bodies contribute to health and disease, and ultimately, we aim to leverage and control these communities...

In this Comment, Cedric Feschotte highlights evidence from diverse lineages showing that transposable elements are key drivers of evolutionary innovation, repeatedly introducing regulatory and coding ...

Antibiotic response phenotypes have traditionally been classified as either sensitive or resistant. However, accumulating evidence indicates that bacterial responses to antibiotics are far more hetero...

Biofilm formation on implanted medical devices facilitates infection by the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae. Here, Zaborskytė et al. use experimental evolution to show that the bacteria rapidly evolve ...

Re-analysis of over 92,000 metagenomes reveals hundreds of thousands of previously undescribed Bacterial and Archaeal clades hidden in plain sight.

Relentless off-the-peg commercial rewiring has undermined British higher education

by Corrado Nai — A graphic novel about this forgotten woman in science is on its way – but it's unlikely to make an impact without the strong support from the microbiology community. If you have n…

Prebiotic and probiotic interventions can induce therapeutically relevant shifts in the human microbiome, but their effects are variable across individuals. This study shows that metabolic models can ...

Abstract. Biological individuality exists in different forms—unicellular, multicellular, colonial, etc.—which have arisen through evolutionary transitions

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen of humans and animals. In the past five years, increasing reports of convergent strains that carry both…

To create and contribute to the creation of knowledge by undertaking a specified range of activities as part of an Investigator project funded by Wellcome, focusing on understanding microbial and diet...
