Dynamic genetic adaptation of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron during murine gut colonization
1 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
To understand how a bacterium ultimately succeeds or fails in adapting to a new host, it is essential to assess the temporal dynamics of its fitness over the course of colonization. Here, we introduce a human-derived commensal organism, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), into the guts of germ-free mice to determine whether and how the genetic requirements for colonization shift over time. Combining a...
