A distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is associated with increased levels of fecal calprotectin

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shares many characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal microbiota most likely plays an important role in the development of IBDs and may also be involved in the pathogenesis of AS. We aimed to

Biomarkers for monitoring intestinal health in poultry : present status and future perspectives [PDF]

, 2018
Intestinal health is determined by host (immunity, mucosal barrier), nutritional, microbial and environmental factors. Deficiencies in intestinal health are associated with shifts in the composition of the intestinal microbiome (dysbiosis), leakage of ...

Identification of donor microbe species that colonize and persist long term in the recipient after fecal transplant for recurrent Clostridium difficile

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2017
Fecal microbiota transplantation has been shown to be an effective treatment for patients with recurrent C. difficile colitis. Although fecal microbiota transplantation helps to re-establish a normal gut function in patients, the extent of the ...

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Neurological Disorders [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Background: Several studies suggested an important role of the gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of neurological disorders, implying that alteration of the gut microbiota might serve as a treatment strategy. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is currently the most effective gut microbiota intervention and an accepted treatment for recurrent ...

Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]

, 2015
Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.

Safety and efficacy of a novel fecal microbiota transplantation method using hydrogen nanobubble water without antibiotics or bowel cleansing in children with autism spectrum disorder: an open-label, single-arm study demonstrating improvements in core and comorbidity symptoms

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is rising in prevalence, but effective treatments for its core symptoms remain limited. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has shown promise; however, conventional methods often require antibiotics and bowel ...
