The gut microbiome is critical in providing resistance against colonization by exogenous
microorganisms. The mechanisms via which the gut microbiota provide colonization …

Secondary bile acids (SBAs) are derived from primary bile acids (PBAs) in a process reliant
on biosynthetic capabilities possessed by few microbes. To evaluate the role of BAs in …

Objective Campylobacter jejuni produces a genotoxin, cytolethal distending toxin (CDT),
which has DNAse activity and causes DNA double-strand breaks. Although C. jejuni …

The trillions of microorganisms in the gut microbiome have attracted much attention recently
owing to their sophisticated and widespread impacts on numerous aspects of host …

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial diarrhoeal disease in many areas of
the world. The high incidence of sporadic cases of disease in humans is largely due to its …

Clostridioides difficile infections occur upon ecological/metabolic disruptions to the normal
colonic microbiota, commonly due to broad-spectrum antibiotic use. Metabolism of bile acids …

Infections caused by bacterial species from the genus Campylobacter are one of the four
main causes of strong diarrheal enteritis worldwide. Campylobacteriosis, a typical food …

Although emerging evidence shows that gut microbiota-mediated metabolic changes
regulate intestinal pathogen invasions, little is known about whether and how gut microbiota …

Our knowledge about the gut microbiota of pigs is still scarce, despite the importance of
these animals for biomedical research and agriculture. Here, we present a collection of …
