The paper analyzes the gut microbiome of South Asian communities to show that urbanization impacts microbiomes differently across communities, with geography and culture playing a stronger role than lifestyle.

This paper identifies a small molecule regulated by a TetR family regulator that controls the GA3 T6SS and immunity genes in Bacteroides fragilis, enabling coordinated antagonism and defense.

This study investigates the effect of dietary fiber on immune checkpoint blockade efficacy in murine tumor models and finds inconsistent results across different models.

This paper shows that an avirulent C. difficile strain, ST1-75, protects mice from virulent strain-induced colitis by outcompeting it through rapid amino acid depletion, suggesting potential as a biotherapeutic for CDI prevention.

The paper characterizes a large collection of Bacteroidales isolates from the human gut, revealing genomic and metabolomic diversity and horizontal gene transfer across species.
