Intraspecies warfare restricts strain coexistence in human skin microbiomes - Nature Microbiology

About 15,000 pairwise interactions within S. epidermidis from 18 people in 6 families reveal the antagonism and molecular trade-offs that shape the skin microbiota.

Why don’t people who live together have the same strains of microbes? Tami Lieberman (@contaminatedsci.bsky.social) and I put forward one underexplored reason in our new preprint: Intraspecies warfare restricts strain coexistence in human skin microbiomes

Excited to share my preprint describing a new microbiome analysis method, PHLAME, for detecting strain-level associations in difficult sample types. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This work was done with my great coauthors and my amazing advisor @contaminatedsci.bsky.social

Intraspecies associations from strain-rich metagenome samples

Genetically distinct strains of a species can vary widely in phenotype, reducing the utility of species-resolved microbiome measurements for detecting associations with health or disease. While metage...
