Journal ArticleDOI

Sydney M. Finegold,Scot E. Dowd,Viktoria Gontcharova,Chengxu Liu,Kathleen E. Henley,Randall D. Wolcott,Eunseog Youn,Paula H. Summanen,Doreen Granpeesheh,Dennis R. Dixon,Minghsun Liu,Denise Molitoris,John A. Green +12 more
TL;DR: If the unique microbial flora is found to be a causative or consequent factor in this type of autism, it may have implications with regard to a specific diagnostic test, its epidemiology, and for treatment and prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propionibacterium acnes Strain Populations in the Human Skin Microbiome Associated with Acne
Sorel Fitz-Gibbon,Shuta Tomida,Bor Han Chiu,Lin Nguyen,Christine Du,Minghsun Liu,David Elashoff,Marie C. Erfe,Anya Loncaric,Jenny Kim,Jenny Kim,Robert L. Modlin,Jeff F. Miller,Erica Sodergren,Noah Craft,George M. Weinstock,Huiying Li +16 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates a previously unreported paradigm of commensal strain populations that could explain the pathogenesis of human diseases and underscores the importance of strain level analysis of the human microbiome to define the role of Commensals in health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reverse transcriptase-mediated tropism switching in Bordetella bacteriophage
Minghsun Liu,Rajendar Deora,Sergei Doulatov,Mari Gingery,Frederick A. Eiserling,Andrew Preston,Duncan J. Maskell,Robert W. Simons,Peggy A. Cotter,Julian Parkhill,Jeff F. Miller +10 more
TL;DR: A group of temperate bacteriophages that generate diversity in a gene, designatedmtd (major tropism determinant), which specifies tropism for receptor molecules on host Bordetella species is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropism switching in Bordetella bacteriophage defines a family of diversity-generating retroelements
Sergei Doulatov,Asher Hodes,Lixin Dai,Neeraj Mandhana,Minghsun Liu,Rajendar Deora,Robert W. Simons,Steven Zimmerly,Jeff F. Miller +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that a TR reverse transcript is mutagenized, integrated into VR as a single non-coding strand, and then partially converted to the parental VR sequence, which allows the diversity-generating system to minimize variability to the subset of bases under selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissection of the Burkholderia intracellular life cycle using a photothermal nanoblade.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the primary means for intercellular spread involves cell fusion, as opposed to pseudopod engulfment and bacterial escape from double-membrane vacuoles, and that plaque formation represents MNGC death.
