A University of Oxford-led study has found that diverse communities of resident commensal gut bacteria collectively protect the human gut from disease-causing microorganisms by consuming the nutrients ...

Study Objectives: Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in residents of long-term care facilities. We sought to investigate the association between dental plaque (DP ...

New research reveals that what we eat, down to the type of dietary protein, can tip the balance between Vibrio cholerae and the gut microbiota, reshaping bacterial competition and disease potential ...

In a surprising twist, gut pathogens like Salmonella are not repelled by fecal indole; instead, they exploit it to locate nutrient-rich environments, turning a microbial defense into a colonization ...

Scientists have identified how a bacteria in the gut can act as a protective species against Salmonella infection. A team at the University of Cambridge in England revealed a novel role for the ...

New study demonstrates that diverse communities of resident bacteria can protect the human gut from disease-causing microorganisms. However, this protective effect is lost when only single species of ...

Study finds that a classically anaerobic bacterium, ETBF, can benefit from, and even help create, an oxygen-rich environment.

An intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause diseases, a multi-institutional team including researchers ...

Critical- and high-priority pathogens in the food chain represent a persistent and evolving threat to global public health. These microorganisms are ...
