Immunology
the microbiota plays a key role in the resolution of inflammation and the recovery of immunity after HIV treatment. A new study published in Cell claims.
Nutrition
Researchers have developed fiber snacks that appear to change the gut microbiota in ways that could be beneficial to health.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Cell Reports claims that neonatal susceptibility to bacterial meningitis depends both on age and the gut microbiota maturity.

Scientific research
The influence of cat ownership on gut microbiota function may affect the health of the owner. A new study published in PlosOne claims.
Gynecology
A new study published in Cell claims that microbes are present in fetal tissues and they can prime the fetal immune system, creating a “microbial memory”.
Scientific research
A new study published in Genome Medicine suggests that international travel poses a high risk by favoring the global spread of antimicrobial resistance.
