TL;DR: This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that a stool substitute mixture comprising a multi-species community of bacteria is capable of curing antibiotic-resistant C. difficile colitis.

TL;DR: Results suggest that colonic fermentation may alter the biological activity of blueberry polyphenols.

TL;DR: It is found that twin-vessel single-stage chemostats could develop and maintain stable, diverse, and reproducible communities that reach steady state compositions in all five runs by at most 36 days post-inoculation.

TL;DR: In this article, metabolic profiles from an anaerobic continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) system supporting the growth of several consortia of bacteria representative of the human gut were established and compared.

TL;DR: A secreted molecule produced by clostridia acts as a strong repressor of Salmonella virulence, obliterating expression of the Salmoneella pathogenicity island 1 as well as host cell invasion, suggesting that chemical sensing may be involved in this phenomenon.
