Great heroic work by Kevser Bilici demonstrating the import role of biotin for integration of S. aureus into the nasal microbiome.
Really happy to see the final version of this published in @isme-microbes.bsky.social. We show that production of and competition for biotin shapes S. aureus fitness in the context of nasal commensals doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Matching phages to cognate host bacteria has remained merely empirical. We describe a new tool predicting the host range of #S.aureus-specific phages, based on phage receptor binding protein sequences, which will become helpful for #phage-therapy.
