Most swimming bacteria are capable of following gradients of nutrients, signaling molecules
and other environmental factors that affect bacterial physiology. This tactic behavior became …

Many species, including humans, host communities of symbiotic microbes. There is a vast
literature on the ways these microbiomes affect hosts, but here we argue for an increased …

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent intestinal inflammatory disease characterized by
high incidence and young onset age. Recently, there have been some interesting findings in …

Intestinal flora is closely related to the health of organisms and the occurrence and
development of diseases. The study of intestinal flora will provide a reference for the …

Humans, and many other species, are host to diverse symbionts. It is often suggested that
the mutual benefits of host-microbe relationships can alone explain cooperative evolution …

Gut microbiota plays a critical role in the maintenance of host health. As a low-cost and
genetically tractable vertebrate model, zebrafish have been widely used for biological …

Beneficial associations with bacteria are widespread across animals, spanning a range of
symbiont localizations, transmission routes, and functions. While some of these associations …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have attracted much attention over the past decade as a reliable
model for gut microbiome research. Owing to their low cost, strong genetic and development …

Colistin is one of the last-resort antibiotics in treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant
(MDR) pathogens. Unfortunately, the emergence of colistin-resistant gram-negative strains …

Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the
cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated …
