Natural products from food sources can alter the spread of AMR plasmids in Enterobacterales

The paper shows natural products can reduce AMR plasmid transmission in Enterobacterales, with rottlerin being particularly effective against K. pneumoniae.

Metal complexes and conjugation: Harnessing the power of cobalt complexes to curtail plasmid transfer

This study shows cobalt complexes reduce plasmid transfer in E. coli and K. pneumoniae without affecting plasmid persistence or bacterial growth.

Orthogonal dietary niche enables reversible engraftment of a gut bacterial commensal

This study shows that introducing a gut bacterial commensal with exclusive access to a novel dietary resource, seaweed, enables its colonization in mice, but long-term stability is diet-dependent and subject to immune regulation.

Predictability and persistence of prebiotic dietary supplementation in a healthy human cohort

The paper investigates the predictability of gut microbiota responses to prebiotic dietary supplementation in a healthy human cohort, finding strain-level predictability and no reduction in microbiota variability.
