The Microbiome and Cancer Treatment
Andrew Goodman, PhD, studies the abundant flora in the gut, but he initially trained in ecology and sees many parallels. He thinks of the microbiome as an ecosystem and the members of the ecosystem as bacteria. His recent research reveals that microbes are dynamic agents that should be considered in medical care.

Study: Topical antibiotic triggers unexpected antiviral response
A Yale-led research team made a startling discovery while investigating the effect of bacteria on viral infections. When they applied a common topical antibiotic to mice before or shortly after infection with herpes and other viruses, they found that the antibiotic triggered an antiviral resistance in the animals, the researchers said.

Bacterial brawls mark life in the gut’s microbiome
Bacterially speaking, it gets very crowded in the human gut, with trillions of cells jostling for a position to carry out a host of specialized and often crucial tasks. A new Yale study, published the week of March 7 in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests these “friendly” bacteria aggressively stake out their territory, injecting lethal toxins into any other cells that dare bump into them.
