A phylogenetic transform enhances analysis of compositional microbiota data.
(Elife, 2017-02-15)Surveys of microbial communities (microbiota), typically measured as relative abundance of species, have illustrated the importance of these communities in human health and disease. Yet, statistical artifacts commonly plague ... -
Antibiotic-induced changes in the microbiota disrupt redox dynamics in the gut.
(eLife, 2018-06-19)How host and microbial factors combine to structure gut microbial communities remains incompletely understood. Redox potential is an important environmental feature affected by both host and microbial actions. We assessed ... -
Epstein-Barr virus ensures B cell survival by uniquely modulating apoptosis at early and late times after infection.
(Elife, 2017-04-20)Latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is causally linked to several human cancers. EBV expresses viral oncogenes that promote cell growth and inhibit the apoptotic response to uncontrolled proliferation. The EBV oncoprotein ... -

(2010)Human papillomavirus causes anal condylomata, high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia, and anal squamous cell cancer. We found high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or squamous cell cancer in 75 (47%) of 159 HIV-seropositive ... -
Global Trends in Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fever
(2010)Typhoid and paratyphoid fever continue to be important causes of illness and death, particularly among children and adolescents in south-central and Southeast Asia, where enteric fever is associated with poor sanitation ... -
Lessons Learned from the Anaerobe Survey: Historical Perspective and Review of the Most Recent Data (2005-2007)
(2010)Background. The rationale and lessons learned through the evolution of the National Survey for the Susceptibility of Bacteroides fragilis Group from its initiation in 1981 through 2007 are reviewed here. The survey was conceived ... -
Perforin and IL-2 Upregulation Define Qualitative Differences among Highly Functional Virus-Specific Human CD8(+) T Cells
(2010)The prevailing paradigm of T lymphocyte control of viral replication is that the protective capacity of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells is directly proportional to the number of functions they can perform, with IL-2 production ... -
The tricarboxylic acid cycle in Shewanella oneidensis is independent of Fur and RyhB control
(2010)Background: It is well established in E. coli and Vibrio cholerae that strains harboring mutations in the ferric uptake regulator gene (fur) are unable to utilize tricarboxylic acid (TCA) compounds, due to the down-regulation ...
