Gilliamella apicola

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Gilliamella apicola carries main Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs), especially those for resistance to fosfomycin (88%), beta-lactams (73%), fluoroquinolones (63%), and MLS (57%) (immune priming/antibiotic resistance).
Immune Priming

2022
Bacteria
Extracellular

Bifidobacterium asteroides colonization alters the brain neurotransmitter and gene expression patterns, which might be associated with a unique PUL-like genomic region (developmental modulation).
Developmental Modulation

2021
Bacteria
Extracellular

Lactobacillus panisapium contains a unique set of genes encoding l-arabinofuranosidase, likely important for survival in competitive environments (carbohydrate metabolism).

Snodgrassella

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Snodgrassella is the major carrier of tetracycline resistance genes (immune priming/antibiotic resistance).
Immune Priming

Blattabacterium

Bacteroidota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Blattabacterium is equipped to provision vitamins and a near-complete suite of amino acids to its host, which may reduce the host's reliance on the gut microbiome for these functions (amino acid provision, vitamin supplementation).
