Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is one of neurocristopathies in children. It is mainly treated by surgery but causes severe complications. Enteric neural crest-derived cell (ENCC) transplantation is a potential radical therapeutic strategy; however, so far with poor efficacy. To assess the therapeutic benefit of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on

FastGroupII: A web-based bioinformatics platform for analyses of large 16S rDNA libraries
Background High-throughput sequencing makes it possible to rapidly obtain thousands of 16S rDNA sequences from environmental samples. Bioinformatic tools for the analyses of large 16S rDNA sequence databases are needed to comprehensively describe and ...

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...

Identification of Host-Specific Bacteroidales 16S rDNA Sequences from Human Sewage and Ruminant Feces [PDF]
The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order
