Bioengineered Bacterial Vesicles and Biomimetic Hybrids Eliminate Biofilms and Balance the Gut Microbiome

Small, EarlyView.
Biomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

Resveratrol attenuates areca nut extract‐induced chronic colitis by suppressing pyroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells via modulating cGAS/STING signaling

VIEW, EarlyView.
Areca nut extract (ANE), commonly consumed in some cultures, can damage gut cells by triggering inflammation and cell death through a pathway called cGAS‐STING. This leads to the release of harmful inflammatory substances and weakens the gut barrier. Our study shows that resveratrol, a natural compound found in foods like grapes, can block this harmful

Intrapartum Antibiotic Prophylaxis and Child Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Observational Studies

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background With increasing use of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) for the prevention of early‐onset Group B streptococcus (GBS) infections, there is concern about its long‐term consequences on child health. Objectives To synthesise the evidence of IAP exposure on autoimmune‐related diseases, obesity in childhood and microbial ...

Phylosymbiosis and Parallel Geographical Patterns in the Gut Microbiota of Desert‐Dwelling Amphibians and Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Host species emerge as a significant contributor to interspecies variations in the gut microbiota of desert‐dwelling amphibians and reptiles, illustrating phylosymbiosis among the studied species. Geographical factors partially account for interpopulation variations in the gut microbiota of Bufotes pewzowi and Teratoscincus przewalskii, with parallel ...

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

Do Gut Microbiomes Shift After Bariatric Surgery? A Literature Review

Medicina
The human gastrointestinal tract is estimated to be populated by 38 trillion bacteria from almost 1000 different species. The dominant phyla are Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria.
