Gut microbiota and its relationship to animal health and productivity in commercial broiler
chickens has been difficult to establish due to high variability between flocks, which derives …

The intestinal microbiota provides colonization resistance against pathogens, limiting
pathogen expansion and transmission. These microbiota-mediated mechanisms were …

As the tissue macrophages of the CNS, microglia are critically involved in diseases of the
CNS. However, it remains unknown what controls their maturation and activation under …

Gut dysbiosis contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, and Bacteroides strains
are selectively elevated in AD gut microbiota. However, it remains unknown which …

Live bacteria (such as probiotics) have long been used to modulate gut microbiota and
human physiology, but their colonization is mostly transient. Conceptual understanding of …

Protection against enteric infections, also termed colonization resistance, results from
mutualistic interactions of the host and its indigenous microbes. The gut microbiota of …
