Great heroic work by Kevser Bilici demonstrating the import role of biotin for integration of S. aureus into the nasal microbiome.

I am happy to share our latest preprint, spearheaded by Laura Camus. We show that tyrosin-dependent interactions can foster integration of S. aureus into the nasal microbiome. @cmfi.bsky.social @lmumuenchen.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Matching phages to cognate host bacteria has remained merely empirical. We describe a new tool predicting the host range of #S.aureus-specific phages, based on phage receptor binding protein sequences, which will become helpful for #phage-therapy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We derive iron-siderophore interaction networks among Pseudomonas strains from sequencing data. One key insight: natural strains form dense networks, whereas pathogens are loners. With @frimanscience.bsky.social @zhiyuanli.bsky.social & Nanjing colleagues www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
