Winning the Microbial Battle, but Not the War
Hiutung Chu,Sarkis K. Mazmanian +1 more
TL;DR: New findings by Morais da Fonseca et al. reveal that acute infections may result in permanent disruption of tissue homeostasis and immune dysfunction, long after clearance of a pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated multi-cohort analysis of the Parkinson’s disease gut metagenome
Joseph C. Boktor,Gil Sharon,Leo Verhagen Metman,Deborah A. Hall,Phillip A. Engen,Zoe J. Zreloff,Daniel Hakim,John W. Bostick,James Ousey,Danielle Lange,Gregory Humphrey,Gail Ackermann,Martha Carlin,Rob Knight,Ali Keshavarzian,Sarkis K. Mazmanian +15 more
TL;DR: A metagenomic meta-analysis of PD shows consistent and novel alterations in taxonomic representation, functional metabolic potential, and microbial gene abundance across four independent studies from three continents.
Journal Article
Commensal bacteria induce a barrier protective response to prevent sensitization to food allergens
Taylor Feehley,Andrew T. Stefka,Prabhanshu Tripathi,Kathy D. McCoy,Sarkis K. Mazmanian,Goo-Young Seo,Betty Theriault,Dionysios A. Antonopoulos,Eugene B. Chang,Cathryn R. Nagler +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the maintenance of oral tolerance to dietary antigens relies on bacterial populations that induce a barrier protective response, which includes activation of the IL-23/IL22 axis and the expansion of intestinal Tregs and IgA secreting B cells.

Generation of Bacteriodes fragilis capsular polysaccharide A-only producing mutant strain
TL;DR: In this paper, an isolated B. fragilis bacterial cell producing a native capsular polysaccharide A (PSA), wherein the cell's biosynthetic genes for PSB, PSC, PSD, PSE, PSF, PSG, and PSH have been deleted from the cell genome, can be used to treat individuals with inflammation.
