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...

Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host-microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in f...

Synbiotics may modulate gut microbiota and prevent infections. In a randomized controlled trial (NCT01625273) infants weaned from breast milk were fed formula with prebiotics (fructo- and galactooligosaccharides) or the same prebiotic formula with Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei s...

The rising global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), including its severe form metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), underscores the urgency to elucidate its pathophysiology. To investigate key metabolic interactions central to MASLD...

From an animal production and health perspective, our understanding of the metabolites in ruminant biofluids, particularly rumen fluid across different host species is poorly understood. Metabolomics is a powerful and sensitive approach for investigating low molecular weight metabolite profiles p...

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa threaten the ecological integrity and beneficial uses of lakes globally. In addition to producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MC), M. aeruginosa exudates (MaE) contain various compounds with demonstrat...
