How low can we go? The implications of low bacterial load in respiratory microbiota studies
Pneumonia, 2018 Background Culture-independent sequencing methods are increasingly used to investigate the microbiota associated with human mucosal surfaces, including sites that have low bacterial load in healthy individuals (e.g. the lungs).

Intestinal Emphysema and Gut Bacterial Microbiota Composition
MicroorganismsPneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, or intestinal emphysema, is a condition characterized by the presence of multiple cystic structures within the gut wall and on the serosal surface of the intestine. Intestinal emphysema represents an accidental finding in swine, although it can be clinically relevant in humans.

Gut bacterial microbiota and obesity [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2013 Although probiotics and antibiotics have been used for decades as growth promoters in animals, attention has only recently been drawn to the association between the gut microbiota composition, its manipulation, and obesity. Studies in mice have associated the phylum Firmicutes with obesity and the phylum Bacteroidetes with weight loss.

Cultivating the Bacterial Microbiota of Populus Roots
mSystems, 2021 Microbial communities play an integral role in the health and survival of their plant hosts. Many studies have identified key members in these communities and led to the use of synthetic communities for elucidating their function; however, these studies are limited by the available cultured bacterial representatives.

The bacterial microbiota in inflammatory lung diseases [PDF]
Clinical Immunology, 2015 Numerous lines of evidence, ranging from recent studies back to those in the 1920s, have demonstrated that the lungs are NOT bacteria-free during health. We have recently proposed that the entire respiratory tract should be considered a single ecosystem extending from the nasal and oral cavities to the alveoli, which includes gradients and niches that ...

Candida Interactions with the Oral Bacterial Microbiota [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2018 The human oral cavity is normally colonized by a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, Archaea, viruses, and protozoa. Within the different oral microenvironments these organisms are often found as part of highly organized microbial communities termed biofilms, which display consortial behavior.

Tumor resident microbiota and response to therapies: An insight on tissue bacterial microbiota
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 The role of the intestinal microbiota in the promotion, progression, and response to therapies is gaining importance, but recent studies confirm the presence of microbiota also in the tumor, thus becoming a component of the tumor microenvironment.

The vaginal microbiota in the course of bacterial vaginosis treatment [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2020 AbstractBacterial vaginosis (BV) is perceived as a condition of disrupted vaginal microbiota, but remains of unknown aetiology. In this study, vaginal microbiota composition was determined in twenty-one women with BV, before and after treatment with metronidazole or clindamycin.

Insights into bacterial protein glycosylation in human microbiota [PDF]
Science China Life Sciences, 2015 The study of human microbiota is an emerging research topic. The past efforts have mainly centered on studying the composition and genomic landscape of bacterial species within the targeted communities. The interaction between bacteria and hosts is the pivotal event in the initiation and progression of infectious diseases.

Effect of Probiotics on Host-Microbiota in Bacterial Infections
Pathogens, 2022 Diseases caused by bacteria cause millions of deaths every year. In addition, the problem of resistance to antibiotics is so serious that it threatens the achievements of modern medicine. This is a very important global problem as some bacteria can also develop persistence. Indeed, the persistence of pathogenic bacteria has evolved as a potent survival
