Today is One Health Day.
The health of humans, animals and ecosystems are closely interlinked. Changes in these relationships can increase the risk of new human and animal diseases developing and spreading.
#OneHealth is an approach to optimize the health of humans, animals and ecosystems by integrating these fields, rather than keeping them separate bit.ly/40A3wa6

Why is the S. aureus-eradicating commensal S. lugdunensis found only in a minority of the human population? #Microbiome:
"The S. aureus-antagonizing human nasal commensal S. lugdunensis depends on siderophore piracy"
doi.org/10.1186/s40168-024-0…
With @SimonHeilbronn1 @CoE_CMFI @DZIF_
Nose bacterium S. lugdunensis can outcompete pathogenic S. aureus.
How can this be used to prevent infection?
What can we learn from that about microbial interaction in microbiomes?
Article just out @MicrobiomeJ!
