Exploring Early Life Microbial Interventions and Subsequent Disease Resistance in a Swine-derived Bacterial Gnotobiotic Mouse Model
DownloadFall 2022
Many associations between the gut microbiota, host health, and disease have been revealed, however, mechanistic research to determine causality is necessary. Gnotobiotic animal models, where all organisms are known, are the gold standard to examine mechanisms of causality and gnotobiotic mice are...

Understanding the role of dietary phytochemicals and vitamin B12 in host-microbe interactions to support host gut integrity and health
DownloadSpring 2022
Diet is a strong modifier of gut host-microbe interactions that alter host physiology and immunity against pathogenic bacteria. Some dietary components are required to support host defences that maintain gut homeostasis and symbiosis, whereas others can be detrimental, leading to changes in...
