This study identifies a nitrite-responsive regulatory RNA locus in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron that enhances resilience to nitrosative stress during intestinal inflammation.

This study engineers obligate anaerobic bacteria to tolerate oxygen, improving their survival in the gut.

This study shows how ETBF reprograms host metabolism to create an oxidative niche that supports its growth in the inflamed gut.

This paper develops a non-genetically modified C57BL/6 mouse model that develops severe Citrobacter rodentium infection, driven by microbiota changes and impaired early immunity.

The paper identifies a pathobiont-epithelial IDO1 pathway that drives region-specific susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease in the ascending colon.

This study identifies RbpB as a key RNA-binding protein regulating polysaccharide utilization in gut Bacteroides through post-transcriptional control of PULs.

This paper investigates how Salmonella regulates L-tartrate metabolism during infection by integrating substrate availability and electron acceptor cues.

The paper investigates how inflammatory radicals generate tartaric acid isomers, which serve as transient nutrients for gut pathogens in murine models.
