Open AccessCo-localization of antibiotic resistance genes is widespread in the infant gut microbiome and associates with an immature gut microbial composition
In environmental bacteria, the selective advantage of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be increased through co-localization with genes such as other ARGs, biocide resistance genes, metal resistance genes...

Open AccessDifferential responses of the gut microbiome and resistome to antibiotic exposures in infants and adults
Despite their crucial importance for human health, there is still relatively limited knowledge on how the gut resistome changes or responds to antibiotic treatment across ages, especially in the latter case. H...

Open AccessEmergent bacterial community properties induce enhanced drought tolerance in Arabidopsis
Drought severely restricts plant production and global warming is further increasing drought stress for crops. Much information reveals the ability of individual microbes affecting plant stress tolerance. Howe...

Open AccessThe microbiome of captive hamadryas baboons
The hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a highly social primate that lives in complex multilevel societies exhibiting a wide range of group behaviors akin to humans. In contrast to the widely studied human micr...

Bacterial resistance to arsenic protects against protist killing
Protists kill their bacterial prey using toxic metals such as copper. Here we hypothesize that the metalloid arsenic has a similar role. To test this hypothesis, we examined intracellular survival of Escherichia ...
