Consumer Antimicrobials on Gut Microbiota and Gut Health [PDF]

DNA and Cell Biology, 2019
Triclosan (TCS) is a high-volume chemical used as an antimicrobial ingredient in over 2000 consumer products such as toothpastes, cosmetics, and toys. Due to its widespread use, it causes ubiquitous contamination in the environment and is frequently detected in the human body, raising concerns about its impact on environmental pollution and human ...

Genomic analysis of a rare recurrent Listeria monocytogenes prosthetic joint infection indicates a protected niche within biofilm on prosthetic materials

Scientific Reports, 2021
Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). In this study, we describe a case of recurrent L. monocytogenes infections, 39 months apart, following debridement and retention of a prosthetic hip.

Dietary calcium decreases but short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides increase colonic permeability in rats [PDF]

, 2010
An increased intestinal permeability is associated with several diseases. Nutrition can influence gut permeability. Previously, we showed that dietary Ca decreases whereas dietary short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) increase intestinal ...
