Pneumology
The Integrative Microbiomics tool could potentially delineate subtypes of bronchiectasis and other heterogeneous respiratory diseases.
Gastroenterology
Gut bacteria from people in industrialized countries exchange genes at much higher rates than bacteria from people living in non-industrialized societies.
Gastroenterology
The microbial communities inhabiting the gut have been shown to change in ways that influence the development of disease through blood metabolites.
Pediatrics
A molecule in breast milk, called betaine, may lower the risk of obesity by preventing accelerated growth in newborns and supporting bacterial species.

Ophthalmology
Th17 cells and Treg cells, the resident ocular microbiota could potentially trigger and perpetuate inflammation in dry eye disease.
Gastroenterology
A targeted decontamination could be a strategy to control the spreading of carbapenem-resistance plasmids both amoung patients and within patients.
Otolaryngology
S. mutans produces tryglysin to inhibit the growth of competing species, including other streptococci that could cause opportunistic infection.
Pneumology
The manipulation of microbiota could improve the outcomes of infections in the respiratory tract cause by opportunistic pathogens.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
Gut microbes contribute to symptoms associated with neurological conditions. New microbe-inspired therapies could be develop to treat such conditions.
