Molecular characterisation of selected gastrointestinal microbiota in South African HIV-positive patients during HAART [PDF]
, 2012 Includes bibliographical references.Progression of the HIV disease is characterised by a massive depletion of CD4+ T cells and it has been shown that patients living with a more advanced HIV infection have a higher risk of developing diarrhoea due to the

Mixed-Species Genomic Microarray Analysis of Fecal Samples Reveals Differential Transcriptional Response of Bifidobacteria in Breast- and Formula-Fed Infants [PDF]
, 2009 Although their exact function remains enigmatic, bifidobacteria are among the first colonizers of the newborn infant gut, and further develop to abundant communities, notably in response to diet.

Fecal microbiota transplantation in HIV: A pilot placebo-controlled study
Nature Communications, 2021 Changes in the microbiota have been linked to persistent inflammation during treated HIV infection. In this pilot double-blind study, we study 30 HIV-infected subjects on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with a CD4/CD8 ratio

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Changes in dominant groups of the gut microbiota do not explain cereal-fiber induced improvement of whole-body insulin sensitivity [PDF]
, 2011 Background Diets high in cereal-fiber (HCF) have been shown to improve whole-body insulin sensitivity. In search for potential mechanisms we hypothesized that a supplemented HCF-diet influences the composition of the human gut microbiota and/or ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Fecal microbiota transplantation as a promising treatment option for osteoporosis
Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2022 Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by the descending bone mass and destruction of bone microstructure, which tends to result in the increased bone fragility and associated fractures, as well as high disability rate and ...
