Para-cresol production by Clostridium difficile affects microbial diversity and membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe and a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Disruption of the commensal microbiota, such as through treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, is a critical precursor for ...

The microbiota–gut–brain axis in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease: a scoping review of human studies

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is projected to become the highest‐burden neurological disorder globally. Mounting evidence implicates the gut microbiome in AD pathogenesis. This scoping review of gut microbiomes in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD included dietary and probiotic interventions.

Alpha‐Ketoglutarate Regulates Intestinal Motility and Health by OXGR1 in Nitrergic Neuron of Enteric Nervous System

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Intestinal health could be affected by intestinal motility, which is controlled by the enteric nervous system. In this study, we found that α‐ketoglutarate (AKG) inhibits intestinal motility and improves intestinal permeability, accompanied by an increased count of intestinal flora.

Interspecific variations in the gastrointestinal microbiota in penguins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Despite the enormous amount of data available on the importance of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota in vertebrate (especially mammals), information on the GI microbiota of seabirds remains incomplete.

Fuc‐S, a New Degraded Polysaccharide From Fucoidan, Alleviates Type 2 Diabetes‐Associated Liver Injury Through Modulating Gut Microbiota

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fuc‐S alleviated type 2 diabetes‐associated liver injury through gut microbiota‐SCFA‐liver axis regulation. Fuc‐S treatment significantly improved glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, and liver function, while reducing hepatic steatosis and serum ALT/AST levels. Fuc‐S reinforced intestinal barrier integrity by upregulating tight junction proteins (ZO‐1

Impact of a GABA‐Producing Lactococcus lactis on Microbiota and Mycobiota During CNS Inflammatory Demyelination

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
GABA‐producing Lactococcus lactis protects against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in a mouse source‐dependent manner. The study focuses on the therapeutic potential of genetically engineered gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)‐overproducing Lactococcus lactis (P8s‐GAD L. lactis) in the EAE model.

A Review of the Mechanisms of Action of the Herbal Medicine, STW 5‐II, Underlying Its Efficacy in Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
The pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome includes altered motility, secretion, sensitivity to sensory signals, impaired epithelial barrier function, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. The phytomedicine, STW 5‐II, represents a multi‐targeted approach, addressing these pathophysiologies.

Exploring the Role of Gut Microbiota in Atherosclerosis and Novel Therapeutics to Mitigate the Disease Process—A Comprehensive Review of Current Literature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process affecting the blood vessels, mainly the arteries. It is an established cause of a range of vascular disorders. Under homeostatic conditions, gut microbiota interacts with the host to affect its physiology and perform functions such as maintaining the integrity of the gut–epithelial barrier and immune ...
