New preprint from the lab is out! 🥳

We systematically profiled all pairwise growth interactions between 36 representative human gut microbiome strains, and delved deeper into the molecular mechanisms behind specific growth interactions.

Systematic profiling of growth interactions in human gut microbiome species
Microbial interactions shape the composition and stability of the human gut microbiome. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying these relationships remain poorly understood. Here, we systematically p...

Really cool story from @lisamaierlab.bsky.social!
We are happy that @luuuprz.bsky.social (PhD student in our lab) contributed a small part.
New paper from the lab!
Led by Patrick Müller: we show that non-antibiotic compounds — but not macrolide antibiotics — can induce an efflux pump that protects Bacteroidaceae from macrolides.
A neat twist on drug–microbe interactions... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

How drugs reshape the gut microbiome? 💊🦠

Screening 707 drugs in gut microbial communities reveals nutrient competition as the key driver of compositional and metabolic shifts.

Nutrient competition predicts gut microbiome restructuring under drug perturbations
Systematic profiling of 707 drugs on their impact on stool-derived microbial communities shows that nutrient competition explains and predicts species shifts under drug treatment and that post-drug re...

Finally out! A small screen helps understand a little more about how E. coli regulates major transporters, and reveals how caffeine induces phenotypical antibiotic resistance. Huge thanks to collab @andrenmateus.bsky.social (Umeå) and Christian L. Müller (Munich)!

Systematic screen uncovers regulator contributions to chemical cues in Escherichia coli
Transport machineries are crucial for antibiotic resistance, but their regulation by external cues is poorly understood. This study identifies environmental chemicals that regulate transporter transcr...
