The Role of the Microbiome in Gastrointestinal Cancer [PDF]
Humans are host to complex microbial communities previously termed normal flora and largely overlooked. However, resident microbes contribute to both health and disease. Investigators are beginning to define microbes that contribute to the development of gastrointestinal malignancies and the mechanisms by which this occurs. Resident microbes can induce

Environmental Temperatures Affect the Gastrointestinal Microbes of the Chinese Giant Salamander
An increasing number of studies have shown that warming also influences the animal gut microbiome (altering the community structure and decreasing its diversity), which might further impact host fitness. Here, based on an analysis of the stomach and gut (

Is the Oral Microbiome Important in HIV-Associated Inflammation? [PDF]
Alterations in the gut microbiome during HIV infection have been implicated in chronic inflammation, but the role of the oral microbiome in this process is less clear. The article by M. K. Annavajhala, S. D. Khan, S. B. Sullivan, J. Shah, et al. (mSphere

Microbiome and gastrointestinal malignancies
Microbiota plays an important role in gut homeostasis and immunity against pathogens. However, the dysbiosis of gut microbiota increases the susceptibility of the host to pathogens leading to the development of several diseases including gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.

Towards large-cohort comparative studies to define the factors influencing the gut microbial community structure of ASD patients. [PDF]
Differences in the gut microbiota have been reported between individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurotypical controls, although direct evidence that changes in the microbiome contribute to causing ASD has been scarce to date.
