Discovery of a secreted Bacteroides fragilis mucinase that cleaves mucins with bis-T O-glycans through a carbohydrate binding module-dependent mechanism

Gut Microbes
Degradation of mucins at the host–microbial mucus interphase involves glycosidases that release monosaccharides from O-glycans and mucinases that cleave the mucin protein backbone.

‘Bacteroides cutis,’ a new bacterial species isolated from human skin

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
We report the main characteristics of ‘Bacteroides cutis’ sp. nov., strain Marseille-P4118T (= CSUR P4118), a new species within the genus Bacteroides. This strain was isolated from a skin sample of a 75-year-old man from Marseille. Keywords: Bacteroides

Current Advancements of Probiotic Foods and Their Role in Sustainable Food Security

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Probiotic foods have evolved from traditional fermented products to scientifically validated functional foods, defined by the FAO and WHO as live microorganism that confer a health benefit on the host when administered in adequate amounts, with effects being strain, does and end point specific.

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of relatively infrequent isolates of the Bacteroides fragilis group: Bacteroides uniformis, bacteroides caccae, and Bacteroides eggerthii

Current Therapeutic Research, 1993
Abstract Using a broth microdilution method, clinical isolates of Bacteroides caccae (10 strains), Bacteroides eggerthii (1 strain), and Bacteroides uniformis (25 strains) were tested to determine their susceptibility to various beta-lactam agents, clindamycin, and metronidazole. All strains were beta-lactamase producers. Strains of B uniformis

Construction of Chronic Kidney Disease Mouse Model Induced by Diets With Different Adenine Content

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
By administering a 4 weeks adenine diet to C57BL/6J mice, we identified 0.2% adenine in purified feed as the optimal chronic kidney disease model. This model induces severe renal damage, gut dysbiosis, uremic toxin accumulation, and CKD mineral bone disorder, providing a clinically relevant platform for mechanistic and therapeutic studies.

Interkingdom Interactions in the Gut: Ecological Mechanisms, Homeostasis, and Therapeutic Modulation

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem that profoundly influences host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. This review provides an integrative overview of the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms—particularly bacteria and fungi—interact with host cells and with each other to maintain intestinal ...

Associations between Nugent‐bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural northwestern Bangladesh

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Bacterial vaginosis, defined by Nugent score (Nugent‐BV), has been associated with preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, few studies have longitudinally described the associations between Nugent‐BV and adverse pregnancy outcomes at varying times in pregnancy.

Oat β‐Glucan and Galactooligosaccharides Influence Gallstone Formation by Modulating the Gut Microbiota, Particularly Desulfovibrionales

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Oat β‐glucan and galactooligosaccharides influence the formation of gallstones by modulating the gut microbiota, particularly the abundance of Desulfovibrionales. The primary mechanism involves metabolic byproducts associated with Desulfovibrionales inhibiting hepatic bile acid synthesis via both the hepatic FXR–SHP and intestinal FXR–FGF15 signaling ...
