Poultry gut health and beyond

Animal Nutrition, 2023
Intestinal health is critically important for the digestion and absorption of nutrients and thus is a key factor in determining performance. Intestinal health issues are very common in high performing poultry lines due to the high feed intake, which puts

Gut microbes and health

Gastroenterología y Hepatología (English Edition), 2021
The human body is populated by myriads of microorganisms throughout its surface and in the cavities connected to the outside. The microbial colonisers of the intestine (microbiota) are a functional and non-expendable part of the human organism: they provide genes (microbiome) and additional functions to the resources of our species and participate in ...

The Pregnancy and EARly Life study (PEARL) - a longitudinal study to understand how gut microbes contribute to maintaining health during pregnancy and early life

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background The early life period represents the first step in establishing a beneficial microbial ecosystem, which in turn affects both short and longer-term health.

An optimised protocol for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in stool

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in stool samples of COVID-19 patients, with potential implications for faecal-oral transmission. Compared to nasopharyngeal swab samples, the complexity of the stool matrix poses a challenge in the detection of the

Absence of Bacteria Permits Fungal Gut-To-Brain Translocation and Invasion in Germfree Mice but Ageing Alone Does Not Drive Pathobiont Expansion in Conventionally Raised Mice

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Age-associated changes in the structure of the intestinal microbiome and in its interaction with the brain via the gut-brain axis are increasingly being implicated in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

Fecal microbiota transfer between young and aged mice reverses hallmarks of the aging gut, eye, and brain

Microbiome, 2022
Background Altered intestinal microbiota composition in later life is associated with inflammaging, declining tissue function, and increased susceptibility to age-associated chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative dementias.

Extracellular vesicles produced by the human gut commensal bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron elicit anti-inflammatory responses from innate immune cells

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) produced by gut commensal bacteria have been proposed to play an important role in maintaining host homeostasis via interactions with the immune system.

LotuS2: an ultrafast and highly accurate tool for amplicon sequencing analysis

Microbiome, 2022
Background Amplicon sequencing is an established and cost-efficient method for profiling microbiomes. However, many available tools to process this data require both bioinformatics skills and high computational power to process big datasets. Furthermore,

Flavonoids and gut health

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2020
Flavonoids are dietary non-nutrient bioactives with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and tea are rich in flavonoids. After consumption, flavonoids are extensively metabolized by the gut microbiota and host tissues. Flavonoid metabolism exhibits extensive variation between individuals. It is plausible that
