Metagenomic source tracking after microbiota transplant therapy by Susan L. Hoops, Daphne Moutsoglou, Byron P. Vaughn, Alexander Khoruts, Dan Knights

“…Applying MAGEnTa to a dataset from a recent MTT clinical trial for ulcerative colitis, we found the results to be consistent with 16S rRNA gene SourceTracker analysis but with added MAG-level specificity. MAGEnTa is a powerful tool to study community and strain engraftment dynamics in the development of MTT-based treatments that can be integrated into frameworks for functional and taxonomic analysis.…”

Staphylococcus epidermidis uses the SrrAB regulatory system to modulate oxidative stress and intracellular survival in mouse macrophage cell line Ana-1 by Chunjing Zhao, Zongkai Bai, Xiaoting Chen, Shuangjie Shang, Baitong Shen, Li Bai, Di Qu, Yang Wu, Youcong Wu

“…A srrAB deletion mutant (∆srrAB) was constructed using S. epidermidis strain 1457 (SE1457) as the parent strain to study its regulatory function in oxidative stress. Compared to SE1457, the viable cell counts of the ∆srrAB mutant significantly decreased in the post-stationary phase culture, coinciding with a sharp increase in reactive oxidative species (ROS) accumulation. …”
