Predatory bacteria as members of human microbiomes and their impact on gut diversity and homeostasis

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Bdellovibrio and like organisms (BALOs) are obligate bacterial predators that shape microbial communities by promoting species diversity, yet they have long been considered irrelevant to the human gut due to their presumed obligate aerobic lifestyle. Here, we challenge this view through a combined meta-analytic, experimental, and conceptual investigation of BALOs in human microbiomes. <h4>Res...
