Vibrio is a genus of ubiquitous heterotrophic bacteria found in aquatic environments.
Although they are a small percentage of the bacteria in these environments, vibrios can …

Vibrio cholerae (VC) is the causative agent of the severe dehydrating diarrheal disease
cholera. The primary treatment for cholera is oral rehydration therapy (ORT). However, in …

Background Probiotics have been used to regulate the gut microbiota and physiology in
various contexts, but their precise mechanisms of action remain unclear. Results By …

Vibrio cholerae is a natural inhabitant of aquatic ecosystems. Some strains of V. cholerae
can colonize human hosts and cause cholera, a profuse watery diarrhea. The major …

In this work, by comparing genomes of closely related individuals of Streptomyces isolated
at a spatial microscale (millimeters or centimeters), we investigated the extent and impact of …

Collective behavior in spatially structured groups, or biofilms, is the norm among microbes in
their natural environments. Though biofilm formation has been studied for decades, tracing …

Vibrio cholerae is a significant threat to global public health in part due to its propensity for
large-scale evolutionary sweeps where lineages emerge and are replaced. These sweeps …

Non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae isolates have been found associated with diarrheal disease
globally, however, the global picture of non-toxigenic infections is largely unknown. Among …

The spread of cholera in the midst of an epidemic is largely driven by direct transmission
from person to person, although it is well-recognized that Vibrio cholerae is also capable of …

Bacterial species are hosts to horizontally acquired mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which
encode virulence, toxin, antimicrobial resistance, and other metabolic functions. The …
