Aimee Krausz,Brandon L. Adler,Vitor Cabral,Mahantesh S. Navati,Jessica Doerner,Rabab A. Charafeddine,Dinesh Chandra,Hongying Liang,Leslie Gunther,Alicea Clendaniel,Stacey L. Harper,Joel M. Friedman,Joshua D. Nosanchuk,Adam J. Friedman +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesized and characterized curcumin nanoparticles (curc-np), which inhibited in vitro growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in dose-dependent fashion.

Manipulating Bacterial Communities by in situ Microbiome Engineering.
TL;DR: It is argued that 'in situ microbiome engineering' represents a new paradigm of community-scale genetic and microbial engineering that can directly add, remove, or modify specific sets of functions and alter community-level properties in terrestrial, aquatic, and host-associated microbial communities.

Metagenomic engineering of the mammalian gut microbiome in situ
TL;DR: MAGIC introduces conjugative plasmids into complex microbial communities in situ, enabling genetic modifications in gut microbiota, and demonstrates that diverse taxa in the mouse gut microbiome can be modified directly with a desired genetic payload.

Cormack,Ken Haynes,Karl Kuchler +27 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of the C. glabrata mutant collection as a valuable resource in functional genomics studies of this important fungal pathogen of humans, and to facilitate the identification of putative novel antifungal drug target and virulence genes.
Klebsiella michiganensis transmission enhances resistance to Enterobacteriaceae gut invasion by nutrition competition.
Rita Almeida Oliveira,Katharine M. Ng,Margarida B Correia,Vitor Cabral,Handuo Shi,Justin L. Sonnenburg,Kerwyn Casey Huang,Karina B. Xavier +7 more
TL;DR: Co-housing mice is shown to induce resistance against enterobacterial infection after antibiotic treatment through the ability to retain or share Klebsiella michiganensis, which is necessary and sufficient to prevent infection through competition for nutrients.
