Quote “the research team found that they could suppress autoimmunity in mice with an antibiotic or a vaccine aimed at E. gallinarum.”
The titles vague to the point of clickbait.
On topic, there is much going on with bacteria. My hunch is this could be a large research area for the next couple decades. We’re talking about a system composed of trillions of individuals and an unknown (but large) number of species and all their interactions. I’m sure there will be bacterial “combinations” that in certain situations are helpful and others deadly, for instance.
