mothers' western diet aggravates Crohn's disease in mouse pups
A study in Microbiome finds that maternal western diet could alter the intestinal microbiota of offspring, leading to an increased susceptibility to Crohn’s disease-like colitis. Understanding the long-term effects of maternal diet can help prevent this.

Not all antibiotics increase fungi in the gut: Focus on amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
A study in Microbiome underscores how antibiotics impact the fungal microbiome community via disruptions in the bacterial community. This could help understand the gut microbiota equilibrium better to modify medical practices.

How some intestinal immune cells influence the gut microbiota to maintain tolerance to antigens
A study published in Microbiome suggests that the gamma-delta T cells shape the gut microbiota in ways that improve mucosa tolerance, which, in turn, help to maintain the gamma-delta T cell population.
