    Extensive transmission of microbes along the gastrointestinal tract

    Thomas SB Schmidt, Matthew R Hayward ... Peer Bork
    Microbial populations are continuous along the gastrointestinal tract, with increased transmission in colorectal cancer and rheumatoid arthritis patients.

    Cohabiting family members share microbiota with one another and with their dogs

    Se Jin Song, Christian Lauber ... Rob Knight
    Research on humans and dogs reveals that the communities of microorganisms found on the skin, on the tongue and in the intestine are affected differently by age and cohabitation.

    Mobilome-driven segregation of the resistome in biological wastewater treatment

    Laura de Nies, Susheel Bhanu Busi ... Paul Wilmes
    Biological wastewater treatment plants are critical reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), allowing for early detection and monitoring of resistant pathogens, whilst serving as models for understanding the segregation of mobile genetic elements through AMR.

    Experimental evaluation of the importance of colonization history in early-life gut microbiota assembly

    Inés Martínez, Maria X Maldonado-Gomez ... Jens Walter
    Experiments in ex-germ-free mice establish a measurable effect of colonization history on gut microbiota assembly, illuminating a potential cause for the high levels of unexplained individuality in host-associated microbial communities.

    Multiple lineages of Streptomyces produce antimicrobials within passalid beetle galleries across eastern North America

    Rita de Cassia Pessotti, Bridget L Hansen ... Matthew F Traxler
    The widespread occurrence of metabolically active streptomycetes in Odontotaenius disjunctus beetle frass may insulate their galleries against pathogenic fungal invasion through the production of diverse antimicrobial specialized metabolites.

    Integrating taxonomic, functional, and strain-level profiling of diverse microbial communities with bioBakery 3

    Francesco Beghini, Lauren J McIver ... Nicola Segata
    The bioBakery 3 platform enables improved, integrated, and strain-level analysis of microbial communities from large-scale meta-omic data.

    Population-based sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals how current population dynamics are shaped by past epidemics

    Irving Cancino-Muñoz, Mariana G López ... Iñaki Comas
    Low-burden does not mean low local transmission, and tailor-made strategies are needed to control TB based on the knowledge of the local transmission dynamics.

    Extensive horizontal gene transfer in cheese-associated bacteria

    Kevin S Bonham, Benjamin E Wolfe, Rachel J Dutton
    The identification of horizontally transferred genes, and commonly transferred functions, can provide a window into the selective forces acting on species within an ecosystem.

    Mapping microbial ecosystems and spoilage-gene flow in breweries highlights patterns of contamination and resistance

    Nicholas A Bokulich, Jordyn Bergsveinson ... David A Mills
    Mapping microbial landscapes in indoor environments can predict how contaminants and spoilage resistance genes propagate within food-production environments, yielding novel insight for controlling spoilage.
