Microbial communities are constantly exposed to the invasion of exogenous species, which can significantly alter their composition and function. The capacity of a microbial community to resist ...

The gut microbiome provides protection against intestinal infections by preventing pathogen colonization and the overgrowth of indigenous pathobionts. This resistance to colonization arises from ...

The oral–gut axis constitutes a pivotal route through which oral microbiota and their components modulate the gastrointestinal and systemic immune landscapes 1. Through swallowing, circulatory ...

Large-scale analysis of 12,238 gut metagenomes identifies microbial co-colonizers and co-excluders, offering insights into infection resistance and potential non-antibiotic therapies. Study: ...

A new approach to the investigation of bacterial adaptations could help improve the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. An international research team from the Wellcome Sanger Institute ...

"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a biophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania who studies how active ...

University of Illinois Chicago-led researchers have found that a common gut yeast, Candida albicans, can help Salmonella Typhimurium take hold in the intestine and spread through the body. When ...
