This paper investigates bidirectional cross-feeding interactions between Fusobacterium nucleatum and Segatella oris, showing how glycan degradation and microbial antagonism influence bacterial physiology and host responses.

This study shows that SCFAs from commensal bacteria impair S. aureus growth and virulence by disrupting BCFA metabolism and increasing antimicrobial sensitivity.

This study shows that microbial degradation of mucins provides more nutrients and triggers gene expression changes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa than host-mediated mucin breakdown.

This study shows anaerobic microbiota enhance Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization of airway epithelium by degrading mucins and inducing inflammation in a novel co-culture model.

This paper investigates how virulence inhibitors affect efflux pump expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and links this to changes in motility and virulence.
