  • Antimicrobial resistance represents an ongoing silent pandemic. Here, de Nies et al. show that a single antibiotic treatment leads to resistance in bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila and that integrons play a key role in mediating this resistance.

  • Attenuating effects of the ketogenic diet on colorectal cancer (CRC) cell growth has been previously described. Here, using a mouse model of CRC with a humanized microbiome, the authors identify a shift toward gut bacterial species that produce stearic acid in ketogenic conditions, resulting in elevated levels of free stearate in the gut lumen, which they then show exhibits tumor-suppressing properties.

  • In glacier-fed streams, ecological windows of opportunity allow complex microbial biofilms to develop and transiently form the basis of the food web. Using metagenomics, this study reveals the metabolic strategies and key genomic underpinnings of adaptive traits that enable these biofilms to exploit environmental opportunities.

  • In this Review, de Nies, Kobras and Stracy examine the detrimental effects of antibiotics on the microbiota and the resulting associated infections. They delve into the interplay between antibiotic therapy, loss of colonization resistance, overgrowth of resistant bacteria and subsequent infections. They also discuss strategies to mitigate these risks and reduce antibiotic-associated infections.

  • Human behaviour is complex and multifaceted, and is studied by a broad range of disciplines across the social and natural sciences. To mark our 5th anniversary, we asked leading scientists in some of the key disciplines that we cover to share their vision of the future of research in their disciplines. Our contributors underscore how important it is to broaden the scope of their disciplines to increase ecological validity and diversity of representation, in order to address pressing societal challenges that range from new technologies, modes of interaction and sociopolitical upheaval to disease, poverty, hunger, inequality and climate change. Taken together, these contributions highlight how achieving progress in each discipline will require incorporating insights and methods from others, breaking down disciplinary silos.

  • Targets for human development are increasingly connected with targets for nature, however, existing scenarios do not explicitly address this relationship. Here, we outline a strategy to generate scenarios centred on our relationship with nature to inform decision-making at multiple scales.
