Association of the gut microbiota with clinical variables in obese and lean Emirati subjects

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
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

Composition and Diversity of Natural Bacterial Communities in Mabisi, a Traditionally Fermented Milk

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Many traditionally fermented milk products such as mabisi involve spontaneous fermentation, which can result in bacterial community composition variation due to selection pressure.

Rectal Microbiome Composition Correlates with Humoral Immunity to HIV-1 in Vaccinated Rhesus Macaques. [PDF]

, 2019
The microbiome is an integral and dynamic component of the host and is emerging as a critical determinant of immune responses; however, its influence on vaccine immunogenicity is largely not well understood.

Influence of Crohn’s disease related polymorphisms in innate immune function on ileal microbiome [PDF]

, 2019
We have previously identified NOD2 genotype and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) phenotype, as associated with shifts in the ileal microbiome (“dysbiosis”) in a patient cohort.

Firmicutes in Gut Microbiota Correlate with Blood Testosterone Levels in Elderly Men

The World Journal of Men's Health, 2022
Purpose: In males, testosterone levels have been implicated in various diseases. Recently, the influence of gut microbial-derived compounds on host metabolism has become evident, and it has been suggested that some gut bacteria may be in-volved in ...

A comparative genome analysis of the Bacillota (Firmicutes) class Dehalobacteriia

Microbial Genomics, 2023
Dehalobacterium formicoaceticum is recognized for its ability to anaerobically ferment dichloromethane (DCM), and a catabolic model has recently been proposed. D. formicoaceticum is currently the only axenic representative of its class, the Dehalobacteriia, according to the Genome Taxonomy Database.

Marine Microalgae, Spirulina maxima-Derived Modified Pectin and Modified Pectin Nanoparticles Modulate the Gut Microbiota and Trigger Immune Responses in Mice

Marine Drugs, 2020
This study evaluated the modulation of gut microbiota, immune responses, and gut morphometry in C57BL/6 mice, upon oral administration of S. maxima-derived modified pectin (SmP, 7.5 mg/mL) and pectin nanoparticles (SmPNPs; 7.5 mg/mL).

The First Report of Differences in Gut Microbiota Composition between Obese and Normal Weight Iranian Subjects

Iranian Biomedical Journal, 2020
Background: Obesity is a complex disorder influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. It has been shown that gut microbiota, which colonizes gastrointestinal tract, has a substantial role as an environmental factor in the pathophysiology of ...
