The fecal microbiome in dogs with acute diarrhea and idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. [PDF]
Recent molecular studies have revealed a highly complex bacterial assembly in the canine intestinal tract. There is mounting evidence that microbes play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic enteropathies of dogs, including ...

The use of probiotics to prevent diarrhea in young children attending child care centers: a review [PDF]
The incidence of diarrheal disease in children has been reduced because of public health measures, improved hygiene, and a better understanding of nutrition. However, it remains a particular problem where young children come into close contact with other

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.

Extensive microbial and functional diversity within the chicken cecal microbiome [PDF]
Chickens are major source of food and protein worldwide. Feed conversion and the health of chickens relies on the largely unexplored complex microbial community that inhabits the chicken gut, including the ceca.

A new method for extracting skin microbes allows metagenomic analysis of whole-deep skin [PDF]
In the last decade, an extensive effort has been made to characterize the human microbiota, due to its clinical and economic interests. However, a metagenomic approach to the skin microbiota is hampered by the high proportion of host DNA that is ...

Arsenic and the gastrointestinal tract microbiome
Summary Arsenic is a toxin, ranking first on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Environmental Protection Agency Priority List of Hazardous Substances. Chronic exposure increases the risk of a broad range of human illnesses, most notably cancer; however, there is significant variability in arsenic‐induced ...

Metatranscriptome analysis of the human fecal microbiota reveals subject-specific expression profiles, with genes encoding proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism being dominantly expressed [PDF]
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract provides home to a complex microbial community, collectively termed microbiota. Although major efforts have been made to describe the diversity and stability of the microbiota, functional studies have been largely ...

Spatial heterogeneity of the shorebird gastrointestinal microbiome [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) consists of connected structures that vary in function and physiology, and different GIT sections potentially provide different habitats for microorganisms. Birds possess unique GIT structures, including the oesophagus, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, caeca and large intestine.
