Are you studying #polymicrobial interactions? #Bacteriophages? Competition/Cooperation of two or more species? Use my new standardized device for your experiments. If you are interested in testing the plate in your lab send me a message for more info: lukas.schwyter@uzh.ch

A major part of my PhD is out in ASM’s mSpectrum! We tracked pathogen interactions in children with CF including 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢, 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 and 𝘏. 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘦. 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 showed reduced antagonism already in early childhood. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

By tracking three major pathogens over time, we found that both re...

Multiple small, curved, predatory bacteria (Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus) lyse the bacterial prey remnants below. How are they doing this & which predator proteins are involved in this process? See our newly released research article 📑 => rdcu.be/eL6gu 🦠 #microsky #bacteria #PredatoryBacteria

Published now @asm.org mSystems! After experimental evolution, we used a multiomics approach to explore how the pathogen 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 adapts to 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 secreted metabolites and examined the impact on antibiotic resistance. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

journals.asm.orgA combination of phenotypic responses and genetic adaptations enables Staphylococcus aureus to withstand inhibitory molecules secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa | mSystemsDifferent bacterial pathogens can co-occur in infections, where they interact with one another and influence disease severity. Previous research showed that pathogens can evolve and adapt to co-infect...

Very happy to share our new preprint! We used proteomics and targeted metabolomics to study how 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 copes with inhibitory compounds secreted by 𝘗. 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢. Big thanks to the @fgcz-en.bsky.social for this great collaboration!

New paper out in ISME Journal. Social interactions between strains shape bacterial communities. However, their impact on community functioning is lower compared to basic strain identity features. @joskramer.bsky.social @alexfig.bsky.social @simonmarech.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

academic.oup.comStrain identity effects contribute more to Pseudomonas community functioning than strain interactionsAbstract. Microbial communities can shape key ecological services, but the determinants of their functioning often remain little understood. While traditio
