Systematically dissecting the lifestyle of human gut microbes
Tübingen, Germany
Joined January 2020
It's not just #antibiotics that disrupt the #microbiome! A pair of @Nature studies from the @Lab_Maier and the @Goodman_lab shows how non-antibiotics can affect gastrointestinal infections. 🦠 📍 https://t.co/IUvVqylR0H 📍 https://t.co/7BMrzPFe6T ▶️ https://t.co/nCYMoVPPJf

Gut bacteria are stronger when in community 🤝 EMBL Heidelberg researchers found that sensitive bacteria can be protected from drugs when part of communities. These emergent behaviours will help to design more efficient therapies, with less side effects. https://t.co/QVSkXKAfxX

Excited to have made a small contribution to this important body of work!
>95% have forever chemicals #PFAS in blood. PFAS are linked to cancer, infertility, dev & immune issues. We now have a tool to sharpen to get rid of this poison of the century from body! Our preprint on PFAS bioaccumulation by human gut bacteria! 🧵(1/8) https://t.co/JBgFvhyF7c

Today @HausmannAnnika is visiting us. We just heard an intriguing talk on the regulation of innate #immune sensing of commensal #bacteria in the #intestinal mucosa. Nice to discuss her work on how epithelial repair programs might affect microbe-mucosa crosstalk. Thank you!

Here it is: Our mini-review on how gut microbes react to human-targeted drugs. We hope you enjoy reading it!
Response, resistance, and recovery of #gut #bacteria to human-targeted drug exposure. @lab_maier reviews how gut commensals respond to drug exposure, both as single organisms or as a community, with a particular focus on human-targeted drugs. https://t.co/PD1CK6p9Sn
