Correlation between gut microbiome and cognitive impairment in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Growing evidence has demonstrated that patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) are more likely to experience cognitive impairment than patients with non-dialysis end-stage renal disease (ESRD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain ...

Male circumcision significantly reduces prevalence and load of genital anaerobic bacteria [PDF]

, 2013
Male circumcision reduces female-to-male HIV transmission. Hypothesized mechanisms for this protective effect include decreased HIV target cell recruitment and activation due to changes in the penis microbiome.

The complete genome sequence of Trueperella pyogenes UFV1 reveals a processing system involved in the quorumsensing signal response [PDF]

, 2017
We present here the complete genome sequence of Trueperella pyogenes UFV1. The 2.3-Mbp genome contains an extremely interesting AI-2 transporter and processing system related to the quorum-sensing signal response.

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]

, 2019
Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...

Role of subclinical gut inflammation in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis [PDF]

, 2018
Subclinical gut inflammation occurring in patients affected by spondyloarthritis (SpA) is correlated with the severity of spine inflammation. Several evidences indicate that dysbiosis occurs in SpA, and that may modulate intestinal permeability and ...

Gut Health Evaluation Using Gut Microbiome and Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Postweaning Diarrhoea. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Postweaning diarrhoea (PWD) poses a significant threat to the swine industry by causing notable declines in productivity and mortality. Gut health diagnosis in pigs typically involves complex methods such as gut microbiome analysis, which can be costly and can require specialised skills.
