Diarrhea is a common problem to the whole world and the occurrence of diarrhea is highly
associated with gut microbiota, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Generally, diarrheal …

Most microbial communities consist of a genetically diverse assembly of different organisms,
and the level of genetic diversity plays an important part in community properties and …

The human gut microbiome plays an important role in resisting colonization of the host by
pathogens, but we lack the ability to predict which communities will be protective. We …

Bacterial pathogens have evolved a wide range of strategies to colonize and invade human
organs, despite the presence of multiple host defense mechanisms. In this review, we will …

The microbiota and the gastrointestinal mucus layer play a pivotal role in protection against
non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) colitis. Here, we analyzed …

Myxococcus xanthus, like other myxobacteria, is a social bacterium that moves and feeds
cooperatively in predatory groups. On surfaces, rod-shaped vegetative cells move in search …

Antibiotic treatment failure is of growing concern. Genetically encoded resistance is key in
driving this process. However, there is increasing evidence that bacterial antibiotic …

The evolution of life on earth has been driven by a small number of major evolutionary
transitions. These transitions have been characterized by individuals that could previously …

Direct, mediator-free transfer of electrons between a microbial cell and a solid phase in its
surrounding environment has been suggested to be a widespread and ecologically …

During Salmonella-induced gastroenteritis, mucosal inflammation creates a niche that favors
the expansion of the pathogen population over the microbiota. Here, we show that …
