Verster A, Petronella N, Green J, Matias F, Brooks S
PLoS Comput Biol . 2022 Jul; 18(7):e1010108. PMID: 35793382
Determining associations between intestinal bacteria and continuously measured physiological outcomes is important for understanding the bacteria-host relationship but is not straightforward since abundance data (compositional data) are not normally distributed....

Gill A, Dussault F, McMahon T, Petronella N, Wang X, Cebelinski E, et al.
J Clin Microbiol . 2022 Feb; 60(3):e0222921. PMID: 35225693
Shiga toxin (Stx) is the definitive virulence factor of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Stx variants are currently organized into a taxonomic system of three Stx1 (a, c, and d)...
