Introducing our latest preprint which discovered Clostridium sp. grow on HMOs. Using computational and experimental approaches we show this has beneficial consequences for the developing microbiome and the host. But there is nuance.

Our opinion piece on devs in the preterm infant phageome is out! 👶🏻 🦠

Take 🏠:
🔭 Phages are understudied in (preterm) gut MGs.
📈 Isolation/annotation of gut phages = >utility of MG analyses.
🤒 Phage may act as biomarkers of gut inflammation.
