A great afternoon of discussions on how to communicate science in the news media, hosted by Science Media Centre. It’s really highlighted the value of effective science communication and collaboration with journalists to translate important science

The impact of phenotypic heterogeneity on fungal pathogenicity and drug resistance This review discusses the contribution of phenotypic heterogeneity in fungi to pathogenesis and antifungal drug resistance.

Environment and physiology shape antiphage system expression Bacteria and archaea encode on average ten antiphage systems. Quorum sensing, cellular, or transcription factors can regulate specific systems (CRISPR-Cas, CBASS). Yet, a systematic assessment of anti...

Bacterial genomes encode a rich repertoire of antiphage systems, but we still know surprisingly little about when these systems are actually expressed.

In this preprint, Lucas Paoli et al, ask what shapes antiphage systems expression in native contexts.

Our work showed the value of long-read metagenomics for culture-independent taxonomic profiling of the gut microbiome and resistome in high-risk patients with ACLD.

Thanks to the Hall lab and co-authors for their support and guidance for this project

I hope you enjoy reading the preprint! 🤩🥼🧬

We found dominance of Enterococcus faecium in advanced cirrhosis was paired with collapse of commensal diversity and strong enrichment of clinically relevant resistance genes- these patterns closely linked to prior antimicrobial exposure 💊🧫

#EESMicrobiome

Such an engaged audience at #EESMicrobiome with lots of great questions after my talk!

Big thanks to the organisers for inviting me to present some of the teams recent early life #microbiome work.

Conference has been AMAZING so far!

A little tool I've developed: ExpEvoAnalyzer (github.com/samhorsfield...) - a snakemake pipeline that compares isolate paired-read data from an experimental evolution study to a reference isolate, producing functionally-annotated SNPs in a presence/absence matrix.

Host-specific microbiome and genomic signatures in Bifidobacterium reveal co-evolutionary and functional adaptations across diverse animal hosts Bifidobacterium are beneficial members of the microbiota across animal hosts.

🌍 #WorldMicrobiomeDay 2025
At @halllab.bsky.social we’re uncovering how microbes - right from day one - help shape the gut, strengthen immunity, and protect against infection.
We're exploring how, when, and which microbes colonise - in order to develop interventions for a healthier start to life.
