Prokaryotic taxonomy is the underpinning of microbiology, as it provides a framework for the
proper identification and naming of organisms. The “gold standard” of bacterial species …

Resident microbes play important roles in the development of the gastrointestinal tract, but
their influence on other digestive organs is less well explored. Using the gnotobiotic …

Digestive-tract microbiota exert tremendous influence over host health. Host-symbiont model
systems are studied to investigate how symbioses are initiated and maintained, as well as to …

Aeromonas veronii is a gram-negative species abundant in aquatic environments that
causes disease in humans as well as terrestrial and aquatic animals. In the current study, 41 …

Correlating the presence of bacteria and the genes they carry with aspects of plant and
animal biology is rapidly outpacing the functional characterization of naturally occurring …

The vertebrate intestine is home to microbial ecosystems that play key roles in host
development and health. Little is known about the spatial and temporal dynamics of these …

Aeromonas veronii is a Gram-negative species ubiquitous in different aquatic environments
and capable of causing a variety of diseases to a broad host range. Aeromonas species …

The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is a powerful model for studying bacterial colonization of the
vertebrate intestine, but the genes required by commensal bacteria to colonize the zebrafish …

In most animals, digestive tracts harbor the greatest number of bacteria in the animal that
contribute to its health: by aiding in the digestion of nutrients, provisioning essential nutrients …

Aeromonas veronii is an opportunistic pathogen that affects both fish and mammals,
including humans, leading to bacteraemia, sepsis, meningitis and even death. The …
