- Reposted by Sonja Lehtinen🦠 How do microbes arrive together, and why does it matter for #microbial #diversity? 👉 Read the paper: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... Published in @plos.org Computational Biology 🎉 Congratulations to authors Loïc Marrec & Sonja Lehtinen @sonjalehtinen.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social @sib.swiss
- Reposted by Sonja LehtinenNow published: our work using phylodynamics from surveillance data to quantify and experimentally validate the fitness impact of antibiotic resistance determinants & how this changes with patterns of antibiotic use: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- New preprint! How much does antibiotic use shape bacterial lineage dynamics, and how does that relate to the fitness costs/benefits of resistance determinants? All sorts of fun findings and a method that we hope will be broadly useful. See @dhelekal.bsky.social's thread and the preprint!
- Reposted by Sonja LehtinenI am looking for a PhD student to join my new Socio-Eco-Evo group, hosted in Katie Peichel's Evolutionary Ecology Division @ University of Bern. We're offering a fully funded 4-year position, studying social plasticity and behavioral adaptation among stickleback in Greenland. Please share around!
- Reposted by Sonja LehtinenConjugative plasmids help spread AMR genes. @andrewmatthews.bsky.social @sonjalehtinen.bsky.social & @tatianadimitriu.bsky.social show that #AMR loss in evolving populations involves streamlined #plasmids that gain a transmission advantage by deleting AMR genes @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/48NM0BL
- Reposted by Sonja LehtinenOur story on plasmid streamlining is now published in PLoS Biology! With @andrewmatthews.bsky.social and @sonjalehtinen.bsky.social #MicroSky #Mevosky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
- Reposted by Sonja Lehtinen🚨 Excited to share our new paper is out! 🎉 We show how interactions within gut microbiomes allow certain antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains to persist even without antibiotics, helping explain how resistance is maintained in the human gut. Now published in @natcomms.nature.com rdcu.be/eOf63

- There's freedom to shape the direction - possibilities include antibiotic resistance dynamics, the role of HGT and plasmids in bacterial evolution, bacterial strain structure.
- Looking for examples of beautiful, controversial or impactful microbial modelling papers - ideally a mixture of the above! It’s for teaching in the context of microbial eco/evo/epi. The modelling should be relatively easy to understand for a master’s student with a biology background.
