The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes Ratio as a Risk Factor of Breast Cancer

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
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. Therefore, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio was analyzed in patients with breast cancer.

Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015
Microbial diversity studies based on metagenomic sequencing have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the microbial world. However, one caveat is the fact that not all microorganisms are equally well detected, questioning the universality of this approach ...

Inhibition of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes by select phytochemicals [PDF]

Anaerobe, 2020
Current research indicates that changes in gut microbiota can impact the host, but it is not always clear how dietary and environmental factors alter gut microbiota. One potential factor is antimicrobial activity of compounds ingested by the host. The goal of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of common plant secondary metabolites ...
