I really enjoyed revisiting my favorite organism from grad school for the next "Meet a Microbe" on my blog.
Meet Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can be found in the stomach of half the world's population. It's considered a carcinogen, but only causes cancer in a small fraction of people infected.

Researchers have discovered that metabolites produced by a specific gut bacterium can significantly enhance the body's immune response to cancer. The bacterium Bacteroides uniformis converts the amino acid tryptophan into indoles, which subsequently suppress tumor growth and boost anti-tumor immunity.

"The number of viruses that we found is absolutely wild. We found many viruses that we know very little about and many others that we have never seen before. It's amazing how much untapped biodiversity is all around us. And you don't even have to go far to find it; it's right under our noses," said Dr Erica M. Hartmann.
