Indicator bacteria taxa reveal breeding site origins of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]

BMC Research Notes
Background The microbiota of adult mosquitoes reflects both their life history and the environments they encounter. Linking specific bacterial communities in adult mosquitoes to their larval aquatic habitats would suggest that microbiota profiling can ...

A two sample mendelian randomization analysis investigates causal effects between gut microbiome and immune related Vasculitis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Observational data suggest a link between gut microbiota and immune-related vasculitis, but causality remains unclear. A bidirectional mendelian randomization study was conducted using public genome-wide data.

Impact of gut microbiota on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: insights from a leave-one-out cross-validation study [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionEnteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and

The causal relationships between gut microbiota and venous thromboembolism: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]

Hereditas
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still one of the most severe health issues, increasing mortality and lengthening hospital stays. Different abundances of gut microbiota have been clinically linked to VTE and coagulopathy.

Salivary microbial signature highlighting actinomyces as a predictor of immune-checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy response in advanced non–small cell lung cancer [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet reliable biomarkers beyond programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression remain limited. Increasing evidence links the gut microbiome

Preanalytical, Analytical and Postanalytical Analyses on Corynebacterium spp. and Actinomycetaceae in Urine Samples of Patients with Suspected Urinary Tract Infection—A Hypothesis-Forming Observational Study

Diagnostics
A hypothesis-forming exploratory cross-sectional assessment was conducted to assess the occurrence and relevance of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria like Corynebacterium spp. and Actinomycetaceae in human urine samples. In total, 1170 urine samples from
