RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS   Top Microbiome: Gut microbiota sways response to cancer immunotherapy p121 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2018.12 Three new studies provide evidence that the composition of the intestinal microbiota affects the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. PDF Marine Microbiology: Climate change boosts cyanobacteria p122 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2018.15 This study uses ocean mesocosms to show that climate change can lead to a decoupled increase of cyanobacterial primary production and a collapse of the marine food web.

Rewiring cellular networks by members of the Flaviviridae family Christopher J. Neufeldt, Mirko Cortese, Eliana G. Acosta & Ralf Bartenschlager p125 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.170 In this Review, Bartenschlager and colleagues discuss how Flaviviridae viruses rewire cellular pathways and co-opt organelles. They compare strategies employed by flaviviruses with those employed by hepaciviruses and discuss the importance of these virus-host interactions in the context of viral replication and antiviral therapies.

Article series: Microbiome The human skin microbiome Allyson L. Byrd, Yasmine Belkaid & Julia A. Segre p143 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.157 Our skin is home to millions of bacteria, fungi and viruses that comprise the skin microbiota. In this Review, Byrd and colleagues discuss recent insights into skin microbial communities, including their composition in health and disease, dynamics between species and interactions with the immune system.

Article series: Antimicrobial resistance Drug resistance in Plasmodium Kasturi Haldar, Souvik Bhattacharjee & Innocent Safeukui p156 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.161 Haldar and colleagues discuss markers and mechanisms of resistance to artemisinins and artemisinin-based combination therapies. They describe the identification of Plasmodium falciparum Kelch 13 as the primary and, to date, sole causative marker of artemisinin resistance in P. falciparum and explore two proposed resistance mechanisms. They emphasize continuing challenges to improve detection strategies and new drug development strategies. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
Article series: Microbiome Microbial modulation of cardiovascular disease J. Mark Brown & Stanley L. Hazen p171 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.149 The interplay between nutrient intake, gut microbial metabolism and microorganism-driven engagement of host receptors contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. In this Review, Brown and Hazen discuss the gut microbial mechanisms that drive cardiovascular disease, with special emphasis on therapeutic interventions. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
