A study by the Hardt lab, with the Sauer and von Mering labs, shows that sugars are abundant in the gut and drive Salmonella Typhimurium expansion across murine models. https://t.co/Dwe11HtBtw

A recent study by the Hardt lab at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the von Mering and Vorholt lab demonstrates that host neutrophils predispose Salmonella Typhimurium elimination by commensal E. coli. 👉https://t.co/fw5fVjlMxQ

Thrilled to finally share!
The plant microbiota triggers dose-dependent immune responses that feed back to influence bacterial colonization. This affects non-pathogenic and pathogenic strains, impacting microbiota homeostasis.

Post-translational modifications confer important functions on peptides and proteins. The Piel lab @ETH_en Zurich and collaborators discovered a new modification resulting in complex, steroid-like amino acids. More: https://t.co/1pw7FKo7gi
