This study analyzes prophages and defense systems in Bifidobacterium genomes to reveal co-evolutionary 'arms race' dynamics between bacteria and phages.

This study examines how early antibiotic and probiotic treatments affect the gut microbiome and resistome in preterm infants, finding that probiotics reduce antibiotic resistance genes and MDR pathogens but do not eliminate them.

This study examines gut microbiota and cytokine profiles in rural Cambodian infants, finding associations between breastfeeding, pathogen exposure, and microbial composition.

The paper describes an optimized DNA extraction method for skin swabs suitable for shotgun metagenomics, validated on adult and baby samples to characterize bacterial microbiota effectively.
