General microbiome

Microbial invasion of a toxic medium is facilitated by a resident community but inhibited as the community co-evolves – Philippe Piccardi – bioRxiv

Excited to share another preprint, by @PhilippePiccar1 Géraldine Alberti, in a fun collaboration with Jake Alexander! https://t.co/rUKz4ApqoP we show that in a toxic environment, bacterial invasions rely on a resident community but become harder as the community co-evolves (1/6)

Could a Focus on the “Why” of Taxonomy Help Taxonomy Better Respond to the Needs of Science and Society? – Leighton Pritchard – Preprints

Vaginal microbiome

Cysteine dependence of Lactobacillus iners is a potential therapeutic target for vaginal microbiota modulation – Seth M. Bloom – Nature Microbiology

Citizen-science map of the vaginal microbiome – Sarah Lebeer – Research Square

Insight into the ecology of vaginal bacteria through integrative analyses of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data – Michael T France – Genome Biology

The vaginal #microbiome is critical to a woman’s sexual and reproductive health and the health and well-being of her partner and children. You can help #TheMarieProject raise public #awareness about the importance of vaginal microbes.

Systematically assessing microbiome–disease associations identifies drivers of inconsistency in metagenomic research – Braden T. Tierney – PlosBiology

(1/3) How you ask a question determines the answer you get — paper out today in @PLOSBiology showing, among other things, that from 581 published microbiome disease associations, 1/3 display contradictory results based on modeling strategy — (https://t.co/MV5xvVQ2aF)
