Prevalence of Oxalotrophy in the Human Microbiome

The paper identifies oxalotrophy as a rare metabolic trait in the human microbiome, primarily confined to the gut, and finds evidence of horizontal gene transfer for the trait.

Fighting Aspergillus infection using biocontrol bacteria: A proof-of-concept of environmental interference in a translational setting

The paper demonstrates biocontrol using oxalotrophic bacteria to combat Aspergillus niger in a mouse infection model by interfering with oxalic acid production.

Genomics of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine Attenuation

The paper identifies mutations frequent in HRSV vaccine candidates and rare in wild-type genomes that may contribute to vaccine attenuation.
