So happy to see our structural and molecular biology collaboration with @DrSheenaMcGowan out in @CommsBio. We show that C. difficile uses an endolysin for toxin secretion, a mechanism which seems to occur in a controlled manner without cell lysis https://t.co/Oy1eCpOO1V

The oral–gut microbiome axis in health and disease

https://t.co/JFChLAPkbx

Kunath, Wilmes et al. explore the interaction between the oral and the intestinal microbiota and how they influence each other and the development of different diseases.
