    A novel pathway of levodopa metabolism by commensal Bifidobacteria

    The gold-standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease is levodopa (L-DOPA), which is taken orally and absorbed intestinally. L-DOPA must reach the brain intact to exert its clinical effect; peripheral metabolism...

    Cross-feeding between intestinal pathobionts promotes their overgrowth during undernutrition

    Child undernutrition is a global health issue associated with a high burden of infectious disease. Undernourished children display an overabundance of intestinal pathogens and pathobionts, and these bacteria i...

    Bacterial Virulence Strategies That Utilize Rho GTPases

    The ability to modify central host cellular functions is a major advantage to many bacterial pathogens that use such strategies as part of their virulence mechanisms. Small GTPases, including Rho GTPases, make...

    Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Salmonella Pathogenesis

    “Salmonellae are among the most resourceful and successful of human pathogens, and as such have long beguiled microbiologists, epidemiologists, and clinicians” (RUBIN et al. 1977) . And they continue to do so! Ho...
