[Cell Host & Microbe @cellhostmicrobe]

Cutibacterium acnes evolution: One pore at a time. @LFlowers_A @specific_ames @aayushi_uberoi examine @arolynconwill @conTaminatedsci work showing #skin surface harbors multiple C. acnes lineages, but individual pores are dominated by an individual lineage https://t.co/pwRq4SXWBg

[Arolyn Conwill @arolynconwill]

Thank you for covering our paper @vero_greenwood @NYTScience!

[Cell Host & Microbe @cellhostmicrobe]

Anatomy promotes neutral coexistence of strains in human skin #microbiome: @arolynconwill @conTaminatedsci show #skin pores spatially segregate C. acnes genotypes via neutral bottlenecking, thereby reducing competition &promoting coexistence among lineages https://t.co/aon9hZeWXe

[Ellie Hunter-Acosta, Ph. D. @BacteriaHunter]

Hi #ScienceTwitter! @zgitai1 and I are so excited to share our recent preprint with everyone!

In this paper, we used a combination of imaging, sequencing, and culturing, and discovered that the skin surface is colonized by surprisingly few viable bacteria.

[Tami Lieberman @conTaminatedsci]

Important work from @BacteriaHunter : "the skin surface is colonized by far few viable bacteria than would be predicted by its levels of bacterial DNA. Instead, viable skin-associated bacteria are primarily present in hair follicles and other cutaneous invaginations."

We are hiring! We offer a fully-funded postdoc position at the interface of ancient metagenomics and palaeopathology to uncover the emergence of microbial pathogens. Join our young and fun lab @mpiib_berlin in Berlin. Please help spread the word. https://t.co/7RkVCKdb0j

First preprint from my postdoc with @contaminatedsci!

In summary, population bottlenecks in your skin pores help maintain microbial diversity on your face.

[Tami Lieberman @conTaminatedsci]

Why do multiple strains of the same species coexist in a microbiome?

For C. acnes, we find that skin pores play a surprising - and genotype agnostic - role in maintaining diversity.

🧵Delighted to share our latest preprint, led by @arolynconwill.

Very cool work on how the physical environment (esp length scale) of crypt-like structures influences microbial colonization

[Oskar Hallatschek @ohallats]

Excited to share how a “Microfluidic Panflute” reveals scale-dependence in bacterial colonization success, stability and resilience. First preprint and major work by grad student @KaritaYuya with help from @limmerlab
