The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes Ratio as a Risk Factor of Breast Cancer
The gut microbiome can reflect the health condition of the entire body. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, the major phyla of the colon, can influence diseases related to obesity which are also risk factors for breast cancer.

Composition and Function of Chicken Gut Microbiota
Studies analyzing the composition of gut microbiota are quite common at present, mainly due to the rapid development of DNA sequencing technologies within the last decade. This is valid also for chickens and their gut microbiota.

Association of the gut microbiota with clinical variables in obese and lean Emirati subjects
BackgroundGrowing evidence supports the role of gut microbiota in obesity, yet exact associations remain largely unknown. Specifically, very little is known about this association in the Emirati population.MethodsWe explored differences in gut microbiota

The association between body mass index and the oral Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes profiles of healthy individuals [PDF]
Introduction: Microbiome status is considered an important factor that contributes to obesity. Investigations have shown that the oral microbiome comprises a vast array of bacterial species that can influence human health.

MetaHiC phage-bacteria infection network reveals active cycling phages of the healthy human gut
Bacteriophages play important roles in regulating the intestinal human microbiota composition, dynamics, and homeostasis, and characterizing their bacterial hosts is needed to understand their impact.
