Orally available designed miniproteins inhibit enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis pathology by blocking toxin receptor binding

The paper designs miniproteins that inhibit Bacteroides fragilis toxin by blocking receptor binding, preventing gut pathology without antibiotics.

If you give a mouse a poopsicle: a novel fecal microbiota transplant method for exploring the role of the gut microbiome in stress-related outcomes in mice

This paper introduces a novel fecal microbiota transplant method using 'poopsicles' to reduce stress in mice, showing lower corticosterone levels and better microbial similarity compared to traditional gavage.

Prevalent chromosome fusion in Vibrio cholerae O1

The paper reports chromosome fusions in clinical V. cholerae O1 isolates, showing stable transmission between patients within a household.

The Role of Morphological Adaptability in Vibrio cholerae's Motility and Pathogenicity

This study examines how morphological changes in Vibrio cholerae affect its motility and pathogenicity in different viscosity environments.

Diversity of Vibrio cholerae O1 through the human gastrointestinal tract during cholera

This study compares genetic diversity of Vibrio cholerae O1 in vomit and stool from cholera patients, finding reduced diversity in stool and some gene loss between samples.
