This study shows biofilms help MDR plasmids persist longer without antibiotics compared to planktonic populations, and favor horizontal transfer.

This paper develops a human vagina-on-a-chip model to study vaginal microbiome-host interactions and their effects on health outcomes.

This study compares two Bifidobacterium pseudolongum strains to determine strain-specific effects on gut microbiota and host immune responses.

The paper identifies non-Lactobacillus-dominated sub-communities in vaginal ecosystems of pregnant and non-pregnant women using mixed membership models, revealing associations with preterm birth and menstrual cycle changes.

This study identifies and characterizes bacterial glycogen-degrading enzymes in the vaginal microbiome, showing their activity and expression across different community states.

The paper analyzes metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data to understand factors driving vaginal microbiota composition and function, finding that transcriptional activity varies with community context.

The paper presents seven metagenome-assembled genomes of BVAB1, revealing its potential metabolic functions and suggesting a new name for the species.

This study shows that multi-drug resistance plasmids persist better in biofilms than in liquid cultures after antibiotic selection.
