Gut microbial and metabolite alterations have been linked to the pathogenesis of inflammatory
bowel diseases. Here we perform a multi-omics microbiome and metabolite analysis of a …

A key challenge in microbiome research is to predict the functionality of microbial communities
based on community membership and (meta)-genomic data. As central microbiota …

Trillions of bacteria inhabit the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. In the majority of hosts, these
symbionts contribute largely to beneficial functions promoting microbe-host homeostasis. …

The composition of intrinsic microbial communities determines if invading pathogens will find
a suitable niche for colonization and cause infection or be eliminated. Here, we investigate …

Both the bacterial flagellum and the evolutionary related injectisome encoded on the Salmonella
pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) play crucial roles during the infection cycle of Salmonella …

Gnotobiotic murine models are important to understand microbiota–host interactions. Despite
the role of bacteriophages as drivers for microbiome structure and function, there is no …

The persisting dogma that the healthy human lung is sterile led to neglect of the lung microbiome
for a long time and it is only recently that it has been acknowledged as an issue. Culture…

A key challenge in microbiome research is to predict functionality from microbial community
composition. As central microbiota functions are determined by bacterial community …

The composition of root exudates is modulated by several environmental factors, and it
remains unclear how that affects beneficial rhizosphere or inoculated microorganisms under …
