The emergence of high-virulent Acinetobacter baumannii strains increases the mortality of patients and seriously affects their prognosis, which motivates us to explore novel ways to control such infections. In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was adopted to explore the me...
The overuse of antibiotics has made public health and safety face a serious crisis. It is urgent to develop new clinical treatment methods to combat drug-resistant bacteria to alleviate the health crisis. The efficiency of antibiotics is closely related to the metabolic state of bacteria. However...

Aquatic insects are well-adapted to freshwater environments, but metabolic mechanisms of such adaptations, particularly to primary environmental factors (e.g., hypoxia, water pressure, dark light and abundant microbes), are poorly known. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestri...
Progressive decline in lung function is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although airway dysbiosis occurs in COPD, whether it contributes to disease progression remains unknown. Here, through a longitudinal analysis on 181 COPD individuals from two large cohorts involvi...
