A combination of phenotypic responses and genetic adaptations enables Staphylococcus aureus to withstand inhibitory molecules secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa | mSystems

Different bacterial pathogens can co-occur in infections, where they interact with one another and influence disease severity. Previous research showed that pathogens can evolve and adapt to co-infect...

New preprint! How S. aureus copes with inhibitory compounds secreted by P. aeruginosa. By @schluk.bsky.social. Great collaboration with @fgcz-en.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper out in ISME Journal. Social interactions between strains shape bacterial communities. However, their impact on community functioning is lower compared to basic strain identity features. @joskramer.bsky.social @alexfig.bsky.social @simonmarech.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

Strain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactions

Abstract. Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditio
