Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...
Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health concern. Gut dysbiosis plays a critical role in its pathogenesis, yet the specific microbial and functional shifts driving ALD progression require further elucidation. This study aims to characterize these alterations a...

Abstract Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) pathogenesis involves gut microbiota dysbiosis, but specific pathobionts and mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the role of patient-derived enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) in ALD progression and its underlyi...
Malaria, caused by Plasmodium species, remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Gut bacteria can influence the severity of malaria, but the contribution of specific bacteria to the risk of severe malaria is unknown. Here, multiomics approaches demonstrate specific...
