This study identifies Prevotella as a major source of sialidases in the vaginal microbiome, showing their prevalence and activity compared to Gardnerella.

This study identifies oleic acid as a compound that inhibits L. iners and promotes L. crispatus growth, offering a potential new treatment strategy for bacterial vaginosis.

The paper identifies small protein modules in phages that independently control prophage induction without relying on DNA damage cues, revealing alternative pathways for lysis in polylysogeny.

The paper studies phage-bacteria interactions in marine environments, finding sparse killing and common recombination among phages.

This study identifies cysteine dependence in Lactobacillus iners as a therapeutic target to shift vaginal microbiota from L. iners-dominant to L. crispatus-dominant states.

The paper shows that mobile genetic elements rapidly evolve to confer phage resistance in bacteria, with resistance unlinked to other genomic features.
