Antibiotic-mediated perturbation of the gut microbiome is associated with numerous
infectious and autoimmune diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Yet, as the gut microbiome …

Biogeography is the study of species distribution and diversity within an ecosystem and is at
the core of how we understand ecosystem dynamics and interactions at the macroscale. In …

Efforts to model the human gut microbiome in mice have led to important insights into the
mechanisms of host-microbe interactions. However, the model communities studied to date …

Biodiversity is a cornerstone of human health and well-being. However, while evidence of
the contributions of nature to human health is rapidly building, research into how biodiversity …

Gut microbiota metabolites may be important for host health, yet few studies investigate the
correlation between human gut microbiome and production of fecal metabolites and their …

While microbial‐based therapy has been considered as an effective strategy for treating
diseases such as colon cancer, its safety remains the biggest challenge. Here, probiotics …

Antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis (AID) is a frequent and serious side effect of antibiotic use
and mitigating this dysbiosis is a critical therapeutic target. We propose that the host diet can …

Antibiotic tolerance, the ability of a typically susceptible microorganism to survive extended
periods of exposure to antibiotics, has a critical role in chronic and recurrent bacterial …

Numerous studies have emphasised the importance of the gut microbiota during early life
and its role in modulating neurodevelopment and behaviour. Epidemiological studies have …

Efforts to probe the role of the gut microbiota in disease would benefit from a system in which
patient-derived bacterial communities can be studied at scale. We addressed this by …
