Stable engraftment of Bifidobacterium longum AH1206 in the human gut depends on individualized features of the resident microbiome. Cell Host Microbe 20 (2016), 515–526 First study to show a stable engraftment of a probiotic strain for over 6 months in a subset of human subjects using methods that allow resolution at strain level. Using a metagenomic approach, the study further identified differences in microbiome of persisters and non-persisters to be related to researches that provide a niche opportunity for the strain.
