Study Reveals "Bet-Hedging" Strategy That Helps Gut Bacteria Survive and Recover
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have discovered that many gut bacteria use a flexible survival strategy to withstand disruptions such as antibiotics and diet changes. Published in the May 19 online issue of Cell Host & Microbe (DOI: 10.1016/j.chom.2026.04.019), the study shows microbes can switch between functional states, rather than relying solely on genetic mutations, to try to survive shifting conditions. The findings shed light on a previously hidden layer of microbiome biology and may help explain why probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) produce inconsistent benefits across individuals.
