NewsCocktail of bile salt hydrolases can stop C diff in its tracks
Researchers have found that bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) can restrict Clostridioides difficile (C. diff.) colonization by both altering existing bile acids and by creating a new class of bile acids within the gut’s microbial environment.

NewsViruses deploy CRISPR system to thwart bacterial defences
Researchers have shown that viruses engineered with a CRISPR-Cas system can thwart bacterial defenses and make selective changes to a targeted bacterium – even when other bacteria are in close proximity.
