Akkermansia muciniphila and Parabacteroides distasonis synergistically protect ...
Gaifem, Joana; Mendes-Frias, Ana; Wolter, Mathis; Steimle, Alex; Garzón, Maria Jose; Ubeda, Carles; Nobre, Clarisse; González, Abigail; Pinho, Salomé S.The contribution of the gut microbiome to the balance between homeostasis and inflammation is widely known. Nevertheless, the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease, which is known to be influenced by genetics, immune response, and environmental cues, remains unclear. Unlocking novel players involved in the dictation of a protective gut, namely, in the microbiota component, is therefore crucial to develop novel...
Manipulation of the Quorum Sensing Signal AI-2 Affects the Antibiotic-Treated G...
Thompson, Jessica Ann; Oliveira, Rita Almeida; Djukovic, Ana; Ubeda, Carles; Xavier, Karina BivarThe mammalian gut microbiota harbors a diverse ecosystem where hundreds of bacterial species interact with each other and their host. Given that bacteria use signals to communicate and regulate group behaviors (quorum sensing), we asked whether such communication between different commensal species can influence the interactions occurring in this environment. We engineered the enteric bacterium, Escherichia col...
