New preprint from @ruairirobertson @MangesLab & @ZvitamboZim investigating the relationship between gut microbiome composition & oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity. #microbiome medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The gut microbiome and rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity in rural Zimbabwean infants

Background Oral rotavirus vaccine (RVV) immunogenicity is considerably lower in low-versus high-income populations; however, the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. Previous evidence suggests...

Birth weight is the strongest predictor of stunting & other infant health outcomes. Our paper in @EBioMedicine shows that the maternal gut microbiome predicts gestational age, birth weight & neonatal growth @MangesLab @ZvitamboZim @QMUL @QMULBartsTheLon thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

The pregnancy gut microbiome in rural Zimbabwe is characterized by resistant starch-degraders and may be an important metabolic target to improve birth weight.

Could a "good community" of bacteria be the answer to the rapidly evolving antibiotic resistance problem? Sign up for the trial if you are eligible and help us explore the mechanisms behind the displacement of the resistant organisms!

I still remember @nanopore being useful even at 85% accuracy. Mind blowing that you can now read a single molecule at 450 bases pr second at 98% accuracy #nanoporeconf

There were 547 new #COVID19 cases were reported in BC this week. The most likely source of infection continues to be contact with a local case or cluster. While new hospital admissions remain low, there was a small increase: #COVIDBC surveillance report ow.ly/u3Hw50BbPBg
