    Navigating contradictions in enteric chemotactic stimuli

    Kailie Franco, Zealon Gentry-Lear ... Arden Baylink
    Motile Enterobacteriaceae override chemorepulsion from the microbiota metabolite indole in favor of nutrient attraction, challenging the idea that indole taxis protects the host against intestinal infection.

    A biofilm-tropic Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage uses the exopolysaccharide Psl as receptor

    Brenna Walton, Serena Abbodante ... Arne Rietsch
    Certain bacteriophage are specifically adapted to infecting biofilm bacteria by exploiting biofilm characteristics, such as the exopolysaccharides produced by bacteria in biofilms.

    Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus P118 enhances host tolerance to Salmonella infection by promoting microbe-derived indole metabolites

    Baikui Wang, Xianqi Peng ... Min Yue
    Probiotic P118 against Salmonella infections by directly antibacterial actions, inhibiting Salmonella colonization and invasion, attenuating macrophage pro-inflammatory responses, and modulating gut microbiota mediated by microbe-derived indole metabolites.

    Effects of parental care on skin microbial community composition in poison frogs

    Marie-Therese Fischer, Katherine S Xue ... Lauren A O'Connell
    Direct skin contact during parental care in poison frogs transmits host-adapted microbes to tadpoles, where some bacterial taxa may persist on the skin through early development.
