About this episode

The episode discusses how Streptococcus mitis bacteriocins facilitate the lysis of S. pneumoniae and the role of nanopore sequencing in understanding microbial dominance in diabetic foot osteomyelitis.

TWiM explains how Streptococcus mitis bacteriocins drive contact-dependent lysis of S. pneumoniae facilitating transformation, and microbial dominance in diabetic foot osteomyelitis determined with nanopore sequencing.
