There is a need for large-scale, longitudinal studies to determine the mechanisms by which
the gut microbiome and its interactions with the host affect human health and disease …

The potential of commensal bacteria to modulate host immunity remains largely
uncharacterized, largely due to the vast number of strains that comprise the human gut …

The gut microbiota produces metabolites that regulate host immunity, thereby impacting
disease resistance and susceptibility. The extent to which commensal bacteria reciprocally …

Shotgun metatranscriptomics (MTX) is an increasingly practical way to survey microbial
community gene function and regulation at scale. This review begins by summarizing the …

The taxonomic composition of the salivary microbiota has been reported to differentiate
between oral health and disease. However, information on bacterial activity and gene …
