This study examines the impact of peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis on gut microbiota in horses undergoing median laparotomy, finding increased ESBL-producing bacteria and reduced diversity.

The paper identifies virus-specific, clonally expanded antibody-secreting cells in the CNS that persist and respond to induced self-antigen, with parallels in multiple sclerosis patients.

This study shows that sequential therapy with only beta-lactam antibiotics can increase bacterial population extinction by reducing spontaneous resistance and cross-resistance.

This study identifies the microbial composition and functional strategies of the symbionts in the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesii, revealing two distinct microbial strategies adapted to low-oxygen conditions.

This study shows that balanced JAK/STAT signaling is essential for maintaining structural and functional homeostasis in Drosophila respiratory epithelia, while chronic overactivation leads to pathological changes resembling human lung diseases.

This study identifies microbial enzymes and pathways involved in marine bone degradation using metagenomic analysis of bone-associated communities.

This study examines how domestication affects the ecological assembly of bacterial and fungal microbiota in wheat species, finding distinct community patterns and a greater role of neutral processes in domesticated wheat.

The paper investigates somatic genetic variation in modular species, finding that clonal growth leads to genetically differentiated modules with varying levels of selection.

This study shows that microbiota community structure across various host organisms aligns with neutral model predictions, suggesting neutral processes rather than host selection primarily shape microbial communities after colonization.

This study analyzes three ancient HBV genomes from European skeletons, showing HBV circulation for 7000 years and distinct lineages that may have gone extinct.
