@JoseLeuridan Nice work! Since you note that Burkholderia Spp. are typically found in soils, which taxa might you look at to observe species that are likely to have derived directly from shedding from human visitors?

@EricaE00 Great poster! You noted that phage therapy is an emerging option in medicine. Are there any notable Microbacterium Spp that cause human disease and could be targeted with a related phage?

@SarahWeiby Neat study! You note that plasmid loss was not previously observed in freshly diluted cultures, but here, when examining stationary-phase cultures there was increased plasmid loss. Why do you think there may be more pressure to lose the plasmid in the stationary phase?
