在我们的肠道里，细菌们就像是一群小战士，通过互相分享基因来快速进化。拟杆菌（Bacteroidales）是一类大量存在的肠道细菌，它们可以交换数百种基因。但这些基因转移对细菌或宿主健康的具体影响，我们还知之甚少。最近，芝加哥大学的研究人员发现了一种大 ...

Rival tribes of bacteria armed with poison darts are fighting it out in your gut, with armies of traitors often winning the day ...

New research from the University of Chicago shows that a large, ubiquitous mobile genetic element changes the antagonistic weaponry of Bacteroides fragilis, a common bacterium of the human gut.
