The paper introduces PIg-seq to study IgA-bound bacteria and finds widespread transcriptional responses, including changes in conjugation genes and prophages, linking IgA to horizontal gene transfer.

This study shows that multiple toxins in T6SS limit resistance evolution in bacteria, similar to combination therapies in medicine.

This study identifies key traits determining the effectiveness of temperate phages as bacterial weapons and shows how their impact depends on host frequency and environmental factors.

This study develops an in vitro model to examine ecological interactions among three scalp microbiota species, finding that S. epidermidis suppresses others, while C. acnes exploits M. restricta.
