Antimicrobial activity and possible mechanisms of juglone against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella pullorum

BMC Microbiology
Background Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella pullorum are significant pathogens that threaten livestock and poultry health. Although antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobial agents can combat these pathogens, antibiotic resistance ...

Unravelling the specificity and mechanism of sialic acid recognition by the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus

Nature Communications, 2017
The mucus layer is an important physical niche within the gut which harbours a distinct microbial community. Here the authors show that specific carbohydrate-binding modules associated with bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes are mucus adhesins that ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Optimisation of 16S rRNA gut microbiota profiling of extremely low birth weight infants

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Infants born prematurely, particularly extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) have altered gut microbial communities. Factors such as maternal health, gut immaturity, delivery mode, and antibiotic treatments are associated with microbiota ...

Gut microbiota in health and disease

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2013
Gut microbiota is the community of live microorganisms residing in the digestive tract. There are many groups of researchers worldwide that are working at deciphering the collective genome of the human microbiota. Modern techniques for studying the microbiota have made us aware of an important number of nonculturable bacteria and of the relation ...

Gut Microbiota’s Effect on Mental Health: The Gut-Brain Axis

Clinics and Practice, 2017
The bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and gut microbiota, referred to as the gut-brain-axis, has been of significant interest in recent years. Increasing evidence has associated gut microbiota to both gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal diseases.

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Chocolate, gut microbiota, and human health [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
With the advances in molecular biology techniques, the association between changes in the gut microbiota and human diseases or disorders is becoming more evident. These health issues include aging (Rehman, 2012), oxidative stress (Qiao et al., 2012), blood pressure and atherosclerosis (Queipo-Ortuno, 2012), diabetes (Wen et al., 2008; Larsen et al ...

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Synergistic Effect of Microorganisms and Enzymes on Nutritional Value of Corn Stover and Wheat Straw

Fermentation
In this study, Candida utilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and non-starch polysaccharide enzymes (cellulase, laccase, β-glucanase, xylanase, and mannanase) were employed to examine the effects of various microorganism–enzyme combinations on the nutritional ...
