IgA antibodies bind to specific gut bacteria in mice

The findings of a new research may inform strategies for treating intestinal diseases by targeting pathogens without killing beneficial gut bacteria.

Antibiotics may fuel resistance in skin microbes

Antibiotics can alter the skin microbiota and lead to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. A new study published in Science Translational Medicine.

New insights into how commonly used drugs affect the gut microbiota

The impact of medications on the gut microbiota is greater than previously thought. A new research published in Nature claims.

How antibiotics damage the gut microbiota

Strategies to mitigate some of the collateral damages of antibiotic therapies are necessary. A new study published in Nature claims.

The microbiota of wild bears reflects changes in antibiotic use

Cat might alter the gut microbiota of their owners

The influence of cat ownership on gut microbiota function may affect the health of the owner. A new study published in PlosOne claims.

International travel may contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance

A new study published in Genome Medicine suggests that international travel poses a high risk by favoring the global spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Dispersal strategies determine for how long bacteria persist in the gut

A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe illustrates how different dispersal strategies can allow bacteria to persist in the human gut.

High-fat diet is linked to changes in gut microbiota, development of antibiotic tolerance

A high-fat diet is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites. These changes seem impair antibiotic efficacy.
