Skin and Gut Microbiome Features Associated with Resistance to Corynebacterium bovis-Associated Disease in Nude Mice (Mus musculus)

This study identifies microbiome features associated with resistance to Corynebacterium bovis-associated disease in mice by comparing skin and gut microbiomes across different donor sources.

Host and microbial factors influence bacterial colonization of the honey bee gut

This study investigates how host and microbial factors influence bacterial colonization of the honey bee gut, finding that native strains have higher loads and AMP sensitivity correlates with colonization success.

Gut microbiota variation across sympatric stingless bee species and honey bees in the Neotropics

The paper characterizes gut microbiota variation among sympatric stingless bees and honey bees in the Neotropics, finding shared microbial exchange and stable yet permeable communities.

Priority effects determine community composition at the strain level in the honeybee gut microbiota

The paper tests priority effects in honeybee gut microbiota by sequentially colonizing bees with different strain compositions and finds that firstcomer strains dominate communities.

Symbiont loss and gain, rather than co-diversification shapes honeybee gut microbiota diversity and function

The paper analyzes honeybee gut microbiota using shotgun metagenomics to show that symbiont gains, losses, and replacements drive diversity and function, rather than co-diversification.

Strain-level and phenotypic stability contrasts with plasmid and phage variability in water kefir communities

This study examines microbial community stability and variability in water kefir, finding species-level stability but plasmid and phage diversity across generations and households.
