This study shows butyrate promotes anaerobic growth and biofilm formation in S. aureus when combined with glucose, through anaplerotic metabolism and stress response pathways.

This paper investigates bidirectional cross-feeding interactions between Fusobacterium nucleatum and Segatella oris, showing how glycan degradation and microbial antagonism influence bacterial physiology and host responses.

This study shows that SCFAs from commensal bacteria impair S. aureus growth and virulence by disrupting BCFA metabolism and increasing antimicrobial sensitivity.

The paper presents a four-step approach to distill mechanistic models from multi-omics data, applied to murine Clostridioides difficile infection data to identify the Stickland reactor's role in toxin production.
