INSERTION SEQUENCE-MEDIATED PHAGE RESISTANCE CONTRIBUTES TO ATTENUATED COLONIZATION OF CYTOLYTIC ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS VARIANTS IN THE GUT

Insertion sequence-mediated phage resistance contributes to attenuated colonization of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis variants in the gut

ABSTRACT Specific elimination of cytolytic Enterococcus faecalis from the intestinal microbiota by bacteriophages (phages) attenuates ethanol-induced liver disease in pre-clinical studies; however, other clinical phage therapy studies have reported the occurrence of phage-resistant variants.Here, we assessed phage resistance using a cytolytic E.fae

Look into my eyes: What can eye-based measures tell us about the relationship between physical activity and cognitive performance?

Background: There is a growing interest to understand the neurobiological mechanisms that drive the positive associations of physical activity and fitness with measures of cognitive performance.To better understand those mechanisms, several studies have employed eye-based measures (e.g., eye movement measures such as saccades, pupillary measures su
