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”.
A new study published in Genome Medicine suggests that international travel poses a high risk by favoring the global spread of antimicrobial resistance.
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe illustrates how different dispersal strategies can allow bacteria to persist in the human gut.
A high-fat diet is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites. These changes seem impair antibiotic efficacy.
Hafnia alvei HA4597® produces ClpB, a protein that acts through molecular mimicry of the satiety hormone alpha-MSH and regulates appetite.
A new study published in Cell could help to detect infection outbreaks and study the distribution of antibiotic-resistant microbes in different urban areas.
Cowpea-based foods protect the gut microbiota, helping malnourished children to grow stronger. A new study published in Cell Reports Medicine claims.
Immune cells called group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are responsible for triggering a response when bacteria and viruses breach the skin.
The composition of a baby’s first stool could determine whether children are likely to develop allergies and other conditions later in life.
Specific food dyes are environmental risk factors for colitis development in conditions where IL-23 expression is dysregulated.
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims that the infant gut is home to bacteria that harbor hundreds of antibiotic-resistance genes.

A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe could pave the way for using phages as biomarkers for the condition of rheumatoid arthritis.
The alterations in gut microbiota composition observed in mice lacking TAK1 can generate a protective immunity against colitis and colorectal cancer.
Fatty acid amides produced by Clostridia can help the bacteria to modulate their host by mimicking human signaling molecules.
The evolutionary history of the human microbiota could help to understand the role of present-day gut microbes in health and disease.
Targeted manipulation to promote the microbial diversity could be an important strategy to treat long COVID-19 and speed up recovery.
Several bacteria associated with human health are acquired late in childhood — albeit with different developmental dynamics.
The Integrative Microbiomics tool could potentially delineate subtypes of bronchiectasis and other heterogeneous respiratory diseases.
Gut bacteria from people in industrialized countries exchange genes at much higher rates than bacteria from people living in non-industrialized societies.
