Open DOI
IgG coating of Lactobacillus crispatus is associated with cervicovaginal immune homeostasis and reduced preterm birth rates, identifying S-layer proteins as candidate antibody targets
Background: Maternal host immune system responses to cervicovaginal microbiota influence the risk of microbial-driven spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Immunoglobulins are present in cervicovaginal fluid (CVF). There are decreased IgG co...

Lesion-anchored viromics identifies candidate viral agents of broiler stunting diseases
Background: Broiler stunting diseases, including malabsorption-associated runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) and maldigestion-associated transmissible viral proventriculitis (TVP), cause significant economic losses through growth failure an...

Using the housekeeping gene cpn60 as a marker for microbial community profiling and viability assessment
High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized microbiome research, yet distinguishing viable from nonviable microbes in complex communities remains challenging. Microbial viability underlines microbiome function, which is mostly driven b...

Salivary prognostic bacterial signatures associated with survival outcomes and recurrence risk in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Background: Alterations in the oral microbiota are increasingly recognized as an integral component of the tumor microenvironment, forming a clinically relevant oncobiome that may modulate tumorigenesis, therapeutic response, and patient...
