This paper develops a cultivation-free method using droplet digital PCR to link functional genes with bacterial species at single-cell resolution in heterogeneous microbial communities.

The paper investigates how plasmid survival varies across different ecological settings in bacterial communities, finding that plasmid fitness trade-offs depend on host and antibiotic conditions.

This study shows that phage therapy can reduce bacterial density in an insect gut when combined with antibiotics, but does not lower the frequency of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
