Salmonella lipopolysaccharide stimulates uptake of long-chain fatty acids in the small intestine

This study shows Salmonella LPS enhances fatty acid uptake in the mouse intestine via CD36 and myeloid TLR4, linking microbial sensing to lipid absorption and host defense.

Type 2 diabetes increases susceptibility to invasive Salmonella Typhimurium despite butyrate supplementation

This study shows that type 2 diabetes increases susceptibility to invasive Salmonella Typhimurium infection despite butyrate supplementation, highlighting a link between hyperglycemia and altered gut microbiota.

Microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids mediate Candida albicans gastrointestinal colonization resistance

This study identifies microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids as key mediators of Candida albicans colonization resistance in the gut.

Periplasmic detoxification of urate hydroperoxide underpins E. coli survival in the inflamed gut

This study identifies HiuH as a periplasmic enzyme in E. coli that detoxifies urate hydroperoxide, enhancing bacterial survival in inflamed gut conditions.

Cholera toxin-induced disease generates epithelial cell-derived L-lactate that promotes Vibrio cholerae growth in the small intestine

This study shows that cholera toxin increases lactate production in intestinal epithelial cells, which promotes Vibrio cholerae growth by providing a metabolic benefit.

Gene regulation of infection-associated L-tartrate metabolism in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

This paper investigates how Salmonella regulates L-tartrate metabolism during infection by integrating substrate availability and electron acceptor cues.
