Revised Estimates for the Number of Human and Bacteria Cells in the Body
bioRxiv, 2016 We critically revisit the “common knowledge” that bacteria outnumber human cells by a ratio of at least 10:1 in the human body. We found the total number of bacteria in the “reference man” to be 3.9·1013, with an uncertainty (SEM) of 25%, and a variation

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARYWork on two diverse rod-shaped bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, has defined a set of about 10 conserved proteins that are important for cell division in a wide range of eubacteria. These proteins are directed to the division site by the combination of two negative regulatory systems.

Metabolites produced by commensal bacteria promote peripheral regulatory T cell generation
Nature, 2013 Intestinal microbes provide multicellular hosts with nutrients and confer resistance to infection. The delicate balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, essential for gut immune homeostasis, is affected by the composition of the commensal ...
