Fungal infections and the fungal microbiome in hepatobiliary disorders. [PDF]

J Hepatol, 2023
Liver and biliary diseases affect more than a billion people worldwide, with high associated morbidity and mortality. The impact of the intestinal bacterial microbiome on liver diseases has been well established. However, the fungal microbiome, or mycobiome, has been overlooked for a long time.

Alterations in the Fungal Microbiome in Ulcerative Colitis. [PDF]

Inflamm Bowel Dis, 2023
AbstractBackgroundAlthough gut fungi have been implicated in the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, the fungal microbiome has not been deeply explored across endohistologic activity and treatment exposure in ulcerative colitis.MethodsWe analyzed data from the SPARC IBD (Study of a Prospective Adult Research Cohort with Inflammatory Bowel

The core fungal microbiome of banana (Musa spp.). [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2023
Here, we report a metabarcoding (ITS2) study to define the common core fungal microbiome (mycobiome) of healthy Musa spp. (bananas and plantains). To identify a list of 21 core fungal taxa, we first characterised the effects of edaphic conditions and host genotype – two factors that are likely to differ between farms – on the diversity of fungal ...

Interkingdom interactions shape the fungal microbiome of mosquitoes

Animal Microbiome, 2023
Abstract The mosquito microbiome is an important modulator of vector competence and vectoral capacity. Unlike the extensively studied bacterial microbiome, fungal communities in the mosquito microbiome (mycobiome) remain largely unexplored. To work towards getting an improved understanding of the fungi associated with

The Fungal Microbiome and Asthma. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2020
Asthma is a group of inflammatory conditions that compromises the airways of a continuously increasing number of people around the globe. Its complex etiology comprises both genetic and environmental aspects, with the intestinal and lung microbiomes emerging as newly implicated factors that can drive and aggravate asthma.

The airway fungal microbiome in asthma [PDF]

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2020
AbstractBackgroundFungal involvement in asthma is associated with severe disease. The full spectrum of fungal species in asthma is not well described and is derived largely from insensitive culture techniques.ObjectivesTo use high‐throughput sequencing to describe the airway mycobiota in asthmatics with and without fungal sensitization and healthy ...

The Effects of Brodalumab on the Fungal Microbiome in Patients with Psoriasis. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
The gut microbiota plays a critical role in immune system function, with dysbiosis linked to systemic inflammation, contributing to conditions like psoriasis and depression. Although biological treatments for severe psoriasis are known to impact gut bacteria, less is understood about their effects on fungi.

Characterization of the intestinal fungal microbiome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]

J Transl Med, 2023
Abstract Objective Gut mycobiota plays a crucial role in benign liver diseases; however, its correlation with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. This study aimed to elucidate fungal differences in patients with HCC-associated cirrhosis compared to cirrhotic patients without HCC and healthy controls.

Fungal invasion of the rhizosphere microbiome [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2015
Abstract The rhizosphere is the infection court where soil-borne pathogens establish a parasitic relationship with the plant. To infect root tissue, pathogens have to compete with members of the rhizosphere microbiome for available nutrients and microsites.
