Vrbanac A, Debelius JW, Jiang L, Morton JT, Dorrestein P, & Knight R (2017). An Elegan(t) Screen for Drug-Microbe Interactions. Cell Host Microbe, 21, 555-556. doi:10.1016/j.chom.2017.04.014
Microbes affect drug responses, but mechanisms remain elusive. Two papers in Cell exploit C.elegans to infer anticancer drug mechanisms. Through high-throughput screens of drug-microbe-host interactions, Garcia-Gonzalez etal. (2017) and Scott etal. (2017) determine that bacterial metabolism underpins fluoropyrimidine cytotoxicity, providing a paradigm for unraveling bacterial mechanisms in drug metabolism.
