Emerging carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Peru shows a shift from KPC-producing to NDM-producing strains. Lineages ST45, ST11, and ST147 are on the rise, posing significant public health challenges. @fiorellakl @pablotsukayama @bernhard_diego journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

This new study questions a gut microbiome link in psoriasis--the small intestine might be the key. @BayazitYunusbb journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Green tea's benefits may depend on your gut! A study links specific gut bacteria to bioactive compounds in green tea, revealing its neuroprotective effects are shaped by microbiome diversity. #Microbiome #GreenTea journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Strawberry diets boost gut health! A 10-week study in elderly Germans shows increased gut diversity, more SCFA-producing bacteria, and fewer pathogens. 🍓🦠 #Microbiome #GutHealth #Nutrition journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Microbial functional gene composition and diversity along the Central and Southwest Indian Ridges is largely influenced by inorganic nutrients transported by the upper circumpolar deep water rather than hydrothermal input. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

The multimedia R package streamlines causal mediation analysis for learning interpretable relationships across microbiome data. @UWMadisonSTATS @uwcdis @datascience_uw journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Peterson et al. find that the bile-acid-transforming bacteria most common in the human gut are relatively unknown, while the most known bacteria, C. scindens, is common in IBD patients but not in healthy individuals. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

This study finds modest gut microbiome changes in psoriasis, possibly linked to small intestine @BayazitYunusbb journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

New software identifies motile bacteria in the human oral microbiota from eHOMD, shedding light on their evolutionary relationships and motility's role in microbiome dynamics. @ShrivastavaLab journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…
