🧬 Postdoc ad is now live: evolutionary genomics of Klebsiella pneumoniae phages. How do prophage depolymerases vs SGNH-esterases shape phage host range? Krakow, Poland. Deadline 21 Sept: mostowylab.com/job-postdoc-...

Thank you Viruses of Microbes for a phantistic week of science in Prague! #VoM2026 @isvm-society.bsky.social

🧵 New preprint out! We asked: what happens to gut bacteria when the intestine is under chronic inflammation (IBD)? Turns out, the host's inflammatory state reshapes how they evolve, and the results are pretty striking. A thread 👇

Excessive paperwork and inefficient systems are sabotaging scientific progress. Really proud to be part of this global manifesto spearheaded by @kentimmis.bsky.social. We need action at all levels to tackle the root causes. Our analysis & proposals @microbiotech.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/1751...

Scientists' Warning to Humanity: Unnecessary Bureaucracy Is a Global Impediment to Productivity, Advancement of Human and Planetary Wellbeing, Science and Sustainability

Unnecessary bureaucracy is a global impediment to progress and productivity that increases stress and lowers workplace morale and motivation. In research it smothers creativity and innovation that ar....

I had fun writing a short commentary on the importance of integrating prophage biology into microbiome research 🦠 Now out in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social #microbiomesky #phagesky www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Making room for gut prophages in human health

Prophages are pervasive in the human gut yet largely overlooked in microbiome research, despite substantial functional potential. Emerging evidence indicates that prophages regulate bacterial fitness,...

📣📰 New article in the ISME journal where we show how oxydative stress reshapes phage-bacteria dynamics. Great team effort with @colinemeynard.bsky.social, @quentinlamyy.bsky.social, Marie Messika and Jean-Pierre Grill. @sorbonne-universite.fr @crsa-paris.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

Oxidative stress constrains evolution of bacteriophage host-range diversity

Abstract. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for cellular signalling and redox homeostasis, but their accumulation causes cellular oxidative stres

🚨🧬New in Gastroenterology! What does the blood virome look like? We show distinct viral signatures in the blood of patients with Crohn’s disease. 🧑‍🔬 Led by Quentin Lamy-Besnier and with Marie-Agnès Petit www.gastrojournal.org/article/S001... @sorbonne-universite.fr @inrae-france.bsky.social

The Human Blood Virome Differs in Crohn's Disease

The gut microbiota has been strongly associated with Crohn’s disease (CD).1,2 However, this signature becomes blurred when the analysis is restricted to the gut viruses due to intrinsically high inter...

🚨 New paper from our lab in Cell Reports @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, led by Clara Douadi! We show that bacteriophages can cross the intestinal barrier, with increased translocation in Crohn's disease. 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-reports... Many thanks to all the authors!

Differential translocation of bacteriophages across the intestinal barrier in health and Crohn’s disease

Intestinal barrier integrity is crucial for gut homeostasis. Douadi et al. show that bacteriophages can cross this barrier without causing damage and that translocation rates depend on the barrier sta...

I just took off in bluesky and for my first post I leave here some green phages inside an endothelial cells. I am here for more phages and bugs in general.
