Excited to share our new work in @aga-gastro.bsky.social! We show that dietary fiber alters the window of susceptibility to C. difficile following antibiotic exposure. This really fantastic study was co-led by an amazing team @rinniehewlett.bsky.social @alhecht.bsky.social and Amanda PeBenito.

It seems there are no free-living organisms known to rely exclusively on one other organism for their survival Until perhaps now Check out our latest publication in @natmicrobiol.nature.com to see how we designed an exclusive microbial reliance using GCE rdcu.be/ekepI 1/2
