This study shows that cross-feeding between E. coli auxotrophs globally and idiosyncratically changes mutant fitness by altering selection pressures on specific genetic variants.

This study identifies D-gluconate as a key nutrient source for Salmonella during both acute and chronic infection, supporting its growth in the inflamed gut.

The paper shows that E. faecalis evolves to metabolize fructoselysine, reducing S. Typhimurium colonization by limiting a key nutrient.

The paper shows that the gfr operon in Salmonella Typhimurium provides a fitness advantage during gut colonization by utilizing dietary Amadori compounds like fructoselysine.

This study investigates how AI-2 signaling and chemotaxis in E. coli influence its competitive interaction with Salmonella Typhimurium in the gut, affecting colonization resistance and metabolism.

This study identifies context-dependent and -independent carbohydrates used by Salmonella Typhimurium for gut colonization in mice, highlighting D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-galactose as key substrates.

mBARq simplifies the analysis of DNA barcode data from transposon libraries and isogenic strains through a user-friendly tool and web app integration.
