The invasive red-eared slider turtle is more successful than the native Chinese three-keeled pond turtle: evidence from the gut microbiota [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background The mutualistic symbiosis between the gut microbial communities (microbiota) and their host animals has attracted much attention. Many factors potentially affect the gut microbiota, which also varies among host animals.

Gut Microbiota Serves a Predictable Outcome of Short-Term Low-Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) Intervention for Patients with Obesity

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
To date, much progress has been made in dietary therapy for obese patients. A low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) has reached a revival in its clinical use during the past decade with undefined mechanisms and debatable efficacy.

Gut microbiota in early pregnancy among women with Hyperglycaemia vs. Normal blood glucose

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020
Background Recent studies suggest that there is a link between the gut microbiota and glucose metabolism. This study aimed to compare the gut microbiota during early pregnancy of women with hyperglycymia to those with normal blood glucose.

Comparative characterization of bacterial communities in geese fed all-grass or high-grain diets. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
BACKGROUND:Gut microbial composition is dependent on diet. Geese are herbivores and can digest crude fibre, but the relationship between composition of the microbiota and a fibre-rich diet in geese is not well understood.

A cavitary pneumonia caused by leptotrichia species in an immunocompetent patient

Infectious Disease Reports, 2012
Leptotrichia species (LS) is an anaerobic Gram negative bacillus in the Bacteroidaceae family and part of the normal human oral flora. It is rarely pathogenic, but occasionally causes diseases in immunocompromised hosts. I am reporting a case of cavitary

Integrated Analyses of Gut Microbiome and Host Metabolome in Children With Henoch-Schönlein Purpura

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Recent studies have shown that intestinal microbes and metabolites are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. However, whether and how they are related to Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) has yet to be understood.

Growth rate alterations of human colorectal cancer cells by 157 gut bacteria

Gut Microbes, 2020
Several bacteria in the human gut microbiome have been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) by high-throughput screens. In some cases, molecular mechanisms have been elucidated that drive tumorigenesis, including bacterial membrane proteins or ...

Modulation of the intestinal microbiota of broilers supplemented with monensin or functional oils in response to challenge by Eimeria spp.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation with 100ppm sodium monensin or 0.15% of a blend of functional oils (cashew nut oil + castor oil) on the intestinal microbiota of broilers challenged with three different Eimeria ...

A dynamics association study of gut barrier and microbiota in hyperuricemia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThe intricate interplay between gut microbiota and hyperuricemia remains a subject of growing interest. However, existing studies only provided snapshots of the gut microbiome at single time points, the temporal dynamics of gut microbiota ...
