Anti-psychotic therapeutics modify gut microbial metabolism and modulate susceptibility to gastrointestinal infection in mice

C. Anthony Gacasan, Jaclyn Weinberg, Lyndsey D. Lipson, Gabrielle M Webster, Dean P. Jones, Timothy Robert Sampson, Rheinallt M. Jones, Michael H. Woodworth

This study shows antipsychotics alter gut microbiota and metabolome, increasing susceptibility to infection in mice.

Bacteriophage Heteroresistance as a Cause of Treatment Failure in Urinary Tract Infections

Serena Singh-Ward, Alysha S. Ismail, Teresa Gil‐Gil, Brandon A. Berryhill, Michael H. Woodworth, Hope E Shanks, Levin Br

The paper investigates phage therapy failure in UTIs by showing that heteroresistance, not traditional resistance, causes rapid treatment failure despite initial susceptibility.

A theoretical exploration of protocols for treating prosthetic joint infections with combinations of antibiotics and bacteriophage (phage)

Bruce R. Levin, Teresa Gil‐Gil, Brandon A. Berryhill, Michael H. Woodworth

This study uses a mathematical-computer simulation model to evaluate the effectiveness of combining antibiotics and bacteriophage in treating prosthetic joint infections, finding that bacteriophage may not be an effective addition.
