Evidence for Bacteroides (and the propionate it produces) as a probiotic in CF. @GeiselBiofilm @DartCF @BliskaLab #mBio https://t.co/NaZiQlQo6P

[George O'Toole (he/him/his) @GeiselBiofilm]

Excite by our new paper in mBio lead by former student Courtney Price and current student Rebecca Valls with help from colleagues @DartCF. Proof of concept for probiotic use in CF and a role for propionate in the gut-lung axis.
