Phages infecting Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Microbiology Resource Announcements
ABSTRACT Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a prevalent human gut commensal that plays an important role in polysaccharide breakdown and is of interest as a probiotic candidate. We report isolation of lytic phages able to infect B.

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.

Mixed Spices at Culinary Doses Have Prebiotic Effects in Healthy Adults: A Pilot Study. [PDF]

, 2019
Spices were used as food preservatives prior to the advent of refrigeration, suggesting the possibility of effects on microbiota. Previous studies have shown prebiotic activities in animals and in vitro, but there has not been a demonstration of ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

The Emergence of Bacteroides pyogenes as a Human Pathogen of Animal Origin: A Narrative Review

Microorganisms
Bacteroides pyogenes is a Gram-negative obligate anaerobe rod. It is naturally found in the oral microbiome of cats and dogs, which represents a primary source of disease for humans. The present review provides an update on the role of B.

Etiologic spectrum and diagnostic gaps of spinal infections: a cross-sectional study in Qingdao, China

Preventive Medicine Reports
Objective: Spinal infections drive global morbidity; however, accurate pathogen detection remains poor. We aimed to profile pathogens in local patients with spinal infections and assess pre-referral identification rates for different spinal infections ...

Meat Intake and Risk of Gastric and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Limited evidence links processed meat intake and non‐cardia gastric cancer, while esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing in Western countries, where diets are typically high in red and processed meats. Using data from over 450,000 participants from a large prospective study, the authors examined meat consumption and the risk of gastric and esophageal ...

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Metabolic changes associated with polysaccharide utilization reduce susceptibility to some β-lactams in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

mSphere
Antibiotic therapy alters bacterial abundance and metabolism in the gut microbiome, leading to dysbiosis and opportunistic infections. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bth) is both a commensal in the gut and an opportunistic pathogen in other body sites ...

Antibiotic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Resistance to Secondary Infection

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Gut microbial dynamics induced by four antibiotics, revealed distinct taxonomic and functional shifts. Vancomycin‐perturbed bacteriomes were proven to promote pathogen resistance to antibiotic treatment. Metronidazole‐treated mice showed pronounced Salmonella translocation to hepatic tissue, and altered Enterococcus avium populations modulated host ...
