Zoe Dyson and Philip Ashton on Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi A

Elena Dalla Vecchia of The Lancet Microbe speaks to Dr Britt Koskella about bacteriophages and phageome, their role in modulating the bacteriome, their potential use as signatures of microbiome health and dysbiosis, and hence, indirectly, as markers of host health and disease status. From an ecological perspective, parasites (such as bacteriophages) are key drivers of the evolution of their hosts (bacteria), and so one might expect to find diverse and rich bacteriomes in the presence of a highly diverse and thriving microbiome: Britt has been exploring this possibility and discusses it in this episode.Click here to read the full article: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(25)00124-7/fulltextContinue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv

Elena Dalla Vecchia talks with Dr Sam Lipworth and Prof Nicole Stoesser about the challenges and variability in genotypic predictions of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli, about which they have published two papers in The Lancet Microbe: “Exploring uncatalogued genetic variation in antimicrobial resistance gene families in Escherichia coli: an observational analysis” and “Estimating the association of antimicrobial resistance genes with minimum inhibitory concentration in Escherichia coli, an observational study”.Continue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv
