Single-cell resolution genetic association analysis of heterogeneous bacterial communities by utilizing droplet digital PCR

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.

Multi-plasmid clash in a bacterial community: plasmid viability depends on the ecological setting of hosts

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.

Targeting antibiotic resistant bacteria with phages reduces bacterial density in an insect host

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.
