New paper!

Would that it were so simple: Interactions between multiple traits undermine classical single-trait-based predictions of microbial community function and evolution. https://t.co/y9qxdtdSpo @RikLindsay Alys Jepson @LisaButt7 @HolderPhilippa @BognaSmug Ivana Gudelj @Ecology_Letters

Just out today in @cellhostmicrobe our mini-review discussing the emerging field of phage-bacteria-eukaryotic symbioses! This paper was an international effort and co-authored by @damwahida and Fang Tang.

@rc_reding Nice one Carlos!

For everyone working out their tax right now, just send the government a big box of cheese singles, a pack of frubes and a note explaining that works out as three grand.

I’m absolutely delighted to share my first first-author publication in @NatureEcoEvo with @MikeJayMcD and @JeremyJBarr 🥳🥳🥳🥳 🥳Here we have tried to show how the presence of multiple potential hosts could drive the evolution of a bacteriophage. https://t.co/OaBUaUufgV

[Nature Microbiology @NatureMicrobiol]

OUT NOW: phage resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii results in resensitization to antimicrobials and reduced bacterial fitness in vivo. Could pave the way to next-generation phage therapy @JeremyJBarr
