Here, with metagenomic analyses on longitudinal samples collected from 195 mother-infant pairs, the authors show that the breast milk microbiome contributes to infant gut assembly through bacterial st...

Receptors that stimulate inflammation are commonly activated by ligands that are buried within microbial cells. The mechanisms that facilitate immunostimulatory ligand release from microbes during inf...

Lietuvninkas et al. use state-of-the-art gnotobiotic approaches to investigate whether cohousing or cross-fostering overpower the role of genetics in shaping the fecal bacterial commensal population. ...

Lantibiotic-producing gut commensals are prevalent in human gut microbiomes. Cole et al. demonstrate that gut colonization with lantibiotic-producing Blautia pseudococcoides SCSK (BpSCSK) prevents rec...
