A new study finds that more than 200 human-targeted, non-antibiotic drugs inhibit the growth of bacterial species that make up part of the human microbiome.

New findings suggest that promoting the growth of fiber-loving bacteria may help manage type 2 diabetes.

Scientists are beginning to unravel the ways in which we develop a healthy relationship with the bugs in our bodies.

Hundreds of samples from microbes living in the gut, skin, mouth, and vagina add to the human microbiome “fingerprint.” 

Two research teams develop tools for tinkering with a bacterial genus prominent in human guts.

Two new techniques allow researchers to manipulate the activity of gut bacteria. 

Mice exposed to low doses of penicillin in utero or as young pups exhibited long-term behavioral differences not seen in their non-exposed counterparts, according to a study.

Corbiculate bees and their gut-dwelling microbes have been coevolving since the social species evolved from their solitary ancestors around 80 million years ago, scientists suggest. 

Three therapeutic doses administered during early life disturb the animals’ microbiomes and lead to enduring changes in the immune systems of non-obese diabetic mice, researchers report.
