The mammalian gut harbors a complex and dynamic microbial ecosystem: the microbiota.
While emerging studies support that microbiota regulates brain function with a few molecular …

The microbiota, and the genes that comprise its microbiome, play key roles in human health.
Host-microbe interactions affect immunity, metabolism, development, and behavior, and …

Bacterial interactions with neighboring microorganisms via production of small metabolites
enable bacteria to respond and adapt to environmental changes. The study of intercellular …

Chronic infections are frequently caused by polymicrobial biofilms. Importantly, these
infections are often difficult to treat effectively in part due to the recalcitrance of biofilms to …

Medical diagnosis and phenotyping increasingly incorporate information from complex
biological samples. This has promoted the development and clinical application of non …

With heightened global concern of microbial drug resistance, advanced methods for early
and accurate diagnosis of infection are urgently needed. Analysis of exhaled breath volatile …

Exhaled breath contains thousands of volatile organic compounds that reflect the metabolic
process occurring in the host both locally in the airways and systemically. They also arise …

Microbial pathogenesis research has, historically, focused on the study of infections as
monomicrobial events. However, the advent of next generation sequencing and culture …
