Phocaeicola vulgatus (PV) shapes long-term growth dynamics & evolutionary adaptations of Clostridioides difficile (CD). CD exhibits stable coexistence, instability or exclusion in gut. Coexistence of CD & PV is facilitated by metabolite cross-feeding. cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Taking the jump to humans #ResearchHighlights In a recent study, Lin et al. uncovered that a single substitution in the bovine influenza H5N1 haemagglutinin protein switches the specificity to human receptors. nature.com/articles/s4157…

Yersiniabactin promotes profibrotic macrophages in Crohn’s E. coli yersiniabactin sequesters zinc & stabilizes HIF-1α in macrophages, promoting profibrotic gene expression. HIF-1α+ Macs are abundant in fibrotic strictures of CD patients Janelle Arthur cell.com/cell-host-micr…
