Early gut mycobiota and mother-offspring transfer [PDF]
Microbiome, 2017 Background The fungi in the gastrointestinal tract, the gut mycobiota, are now recognised as a significant part of the gut microbiota, and they may be important to human health.

Effect of intrapartum azithromycin on early childhood gut mycobiota development: post hoc analysis of a double-blind randomized trial [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIntrapartum azithromycin prophylaxis reduced maternal infections but showed no effect on neonatal sepsis and mortality. Although antibiotic exposure may indirectly alter the mycobiota (community of fungi that live in a given environment), there is no ...

Gut mycobiota dysbiosis and an emergent state of “co-dysbiosis” are associated with IgE sensitization in children with comorbid allergic rhinitis and constipation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyBackgroundThe comorbidity of allergic rhinitis (AR) and functional constipation (FC), termed ARFC, implies shared gut–immune pathways. Although bacterial dysbiosis has been implicated, the role of the gut mycobiota (fungal community) in this specific ...

Longitudinal alterations of the gut mycobiota and microbiota on COVID-19 severity [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022 Background The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the gut fungal (mycobiota) and bacterial (microbiota) communities has been elucidated individually. This study analyzed both gut mycobiota and microbiota and their correlation in the COVID-19 patients with

Gut mycobiota alteration contributes to the pathogenesis of Pneumocystis pneumonia [PDF]
Journal of Translational MedicineBackground Pneumocystis is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts, with increasing incidence in HIV-negative individuals. Although the gut mycobiota has emerged as a critical regulator of distal

Larvae of an invasive scarab increase greenhouse gas emissions from soils and recruit gut mycobiota involved in C and N transformations [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 BackgroundSoil-derived prokaryotic gut communities of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica Newman (JB) larval gut include heterotrophic, ammonia-oxidizing, and methanogenic microbes potentially capable of promoting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...

Limited impact of HIV infection and immune status on the gut mycobiota [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground A growing body of literature connects the gut mycobiota to several diseases, including HIV infection. In contrast to bacteria, fungi represent a smaller fraction of the gut microbiota and pose several technical challenges, including low ...

Fungi in the Gut Microbiota: Interactions, Homeostasis, and Host Physiology
MicroorganismsThe mammalian gastrointestinal tract is a stage for dynamic inter-kingdom interactions among bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, which collectively shape the gut micro-ecology and influence host physiology. Despite being a modest fraction, the fungal
