The Fungal Frontier: A Comparative Analysis of Methods Used in the Study of the Human Gut Mycobiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The human gut is host to a diverse range of fungal species, collectively referred to as the gut “mycobiome”. The gut mycobiome is emerging as an area of considerable research interest due to the potential roles of these fungi in human health and disease.

Characteristics of the gut mycobiome in patients with membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMembranous nephropathy (MN), the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults, is known to be associated with a disordered gut microbiota. However, the relationship between the gut mycobiome and MN remains largely unclear.

Gut mycobiome alterations and network interactions with the bacteriome in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe connection between the gut mycobiome and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) is largely uncharted. In our study, we compared the gut fungal communities of 214 ACVD patients with those of 171 healthy controls using shotgun metagenomic ...
