Nanopore Is Preferable over Illumina for 16S Amplicon Sequencing of the Gut Microbiota When Species-Level Taxonomic Classification, Accurate Estimation of Richness, or Focus on Rare Taxa Is Required [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2023
Nanopore sequencing is a promising technology used for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing as it can provide full-length 16S reads and has a low up-front cost that allows research groups to set up their own sequencing workflows.

Gut and Brain: Investigating Physiological and Pathological Interactions Between Microbiota and Brain to Gain New Therapeutic Avenues for Brain Diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Brain physiological functions or pathological dysfunctions do surely depend on the activity of both neuronal and non-neuronal populations. Nevertheless, over the last decades, compelling and fast accumulating evidence showed that the brain is not alone ...

An NGS-assisted diagnostic workflow for culture-independent detection of bloodstream pathogens and prediction of antimicrobial resistances in sepsis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundTimely and accurate identification of bloodstream pathogens is critical for targeted antimicrobial therapy in sepsis. Conventional blood cultures remain the Standard-of-Care (SoC) for pathogen identification but are limited by low sensitivity ...

Identifying microbial biomarkers of neurodegeneration: a comparative study in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiomes
IntroductionNeurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been increasingly linked to alterations of the gut microbiota, although reported microbial signatures remain heterogeneous and often lack taxonomic
