Bacteriophages (phages) have been shaping bacterial ecology and evolution for millions of years, for example, by selecting for defence strategies. Evidence supports that bacterial biofilm formation is one such strategy and that biofilm-medi...

Careful selection of bacteriophages for phage therapy is needed to avoid undesirable consequences. Different approaches to phage therapy are compared: from the use of multispecies industrially produced phage mixtures with wide range of anti...

Recognizing the respiratory tract as a dynamic and complex ecosystem has enhanced our understanding of the pathophysiology of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). There is widespread evidence showing that disease-predisposing factors often dis...

The maternal environment, during the prenatal and postnatal periods, is a determinant of offspring development and health. Perturbations during these periods can affect maternal behaviors and maternal-infant bonding, and also impair transmi...

Successful replication of the AIDS retrovirus, HIV, requires that its genomic RNA be packaged in assembling virus particles with high fidelity. However, cellular mRNAs can also be packaged under some conditions. Viral RNA (vRNA) contains a ...

The eukaryotic lineage arose from bacterial and archaeal cells that underwent a symbiotic merger. At the origin of the eukaryote lineage, the bacterial partner contributed genes, metabolic energy, and the building blocks of the endomembrane...

When studying the effects of climate change on eukaryotic organisms we often oversee a major ecological process: the interaction with microbes. Eukaryotic hosts and microbes form functional units, termed holobionts, where microbes play cruc...

Host gene variants selected by diet adaptation have been associated with the microbiome. Poole et al. (Cell Host Microbe 2019;25;553-564.E7) reported that AMY1 copy number, associated with obesity, also impacts microbiome composition and fu...
