Hydrogen cycling underpins gut health. In a new preprint from @cait_welsh, we uncover microbes and processes responsible. Through enzyme, cellular, and ecosystem-level work, we show the group B hydrogenase predominates in healthy guts but is depleted in disease states. (1/2)
Very proud of this study. @cait_welsh, @Forster_Lab, @Pr_Cabotaje, @Berggrenlab, @LyrasLab, @hologenomics, and @14Kountz.

Ever wondered why there are so many co-circulating #klebsiella pneumo clones? ... me too! So I'm thrilled to present this new preprint from my lab, where we explore this very question. The culmination of 3+ yrs hard work by @bananabenana! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… @KlebClub
Our new preprint where we sailed the seven seas of the #Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex 🏴☠️ and have charted you an atlas of our travels! We present a population metabolism study of 7835 genomes + metabolic models, in vitro validation and co-cultures. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Happy to share this breaking story from my work in the Kline @KimInGeneva and Chen labs! This preprint article is part of our endeavor to repurpose compounds and reprogram macrophages to treat bacterial infection. @MIT @amr_irg @NTUsg @UNIGEnews @claudiajades

We are searching for a bioinformatics postdoc to study the links between the gut #microbiome and response to immunotherapy. More details to come. Interested? Send me an email with your CV and a cover letter.
Bactabolize has now been published in eLife. Few updates since the preprints and version 1.0.2 live on GitHub. elifesciences.org/articles/87406 For accurate, strain-specific metabolic models in less than 2 minutes per genome, check it out. github.com/kelwyres/Bacta…
In @Nature today (open access), we report the structural and mechanistic basis of how bacteria harvest energy from air. We reveal a novel enzyme, Huc, consumes atmospheric levels of hydrogen gas and transfers the derived electrons for aerobic respiration. nature.com/articles/s4158…
The most recent work of my post-doc at SMART, in the Chen (MIT) and Kline (Unige) Labs is out! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Curious about how we can use repurposed compounds to target macrophages to clear infections? See the link for the article with our most recent example. 🧵👇🏻
Important discovery by @Jake_A_Lacey et al, who have used genomics to show #GroupAStrep impetigo cases have direct transmission links to asymptomatic throat carriage in communities, leading to frequent symptomatic reinfection. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… #preprints
Final thanks to all the organisers of #AusME22: @Zahra_F_Islam @greeninglab @hologenomics @lifeonthefly15 Steve Petrovski @ch_birnbaum and @Symb10sis! @greeninglab thanks himself massively 😆 (as do we all)
