Intestinal mycobiota in health and diseases: from a disrupted equilibrium to clinical opportunities

Microbiome, 2021
Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi establish a complex ecosystem in the gut. Like other microbiota, gut mycobiota plays an indispensable role in modulating intestinal physiology.

Gut Microbial Alterations in Diarrheal Baer's Pochards (Aythya baeri)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The structure and composition of gut microbiota correlate with the occurrence and development of host health and disease. Diarrhea can cause alterations in gut microbiota in animals, and the changes in the gut microbial structure and composition may ...

Fungal diversity in the gut microbiome of young South African children

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background The fungal microbiome, or mycobiome, is a poorly described component of the gut ecosystem and little is known about its structure and development in children. In South Africa, there have been no culture-independent evaluations of the child gut

Composition and Associations of the Infant Gut Fungal Microbiota with Environmental Factors and Childhood Allergic Outcomes

mBio, 2021
Recent evidence suggests an immunomodulatory role for commensal fungi (mycobiota) in the gut, yet little is known about the composition and dynamics of early-life gut fungal communities.

Gut Mycobiota Dysbiosis Is Associated with Melanoma and Response to Anti-PD-1 Therapy. [PDF]

Cancer Immunol Res
Abstract Recent research indicates that gut microbiota may be vital in the advancement of melanoma. In this study, we found that melanoma patients exhibited a distinct gut mycobiota structure compared with healthy participants. Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Neurospora crassa were

Gut mycobiota under scrutiny: fungal symbionts or environmental transients? [PDF]

Curr Opin Microbiol, 2019
The human gastrointestinal tract is home to a thriving community of microbes including the fungal 'mycobiota'. Although sequencing methodology has enumerated diverse fungal genera within this niche, discerning persistent symbiotic residents from contaminants and purely environmental transients remains a challenge.

Gut Micro- and Mycobiota in Preeclampsia: Bacterial Composition Differences Suggest Role in Pathophysiology

Biomolecules, 2023
Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related inflammatory disease without an effective treatment. The pathophysiology remains partly unknown. However, an increased inflammatory response and oxidative stress are part of the maternal systemic reaction. Recent data have suggested that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome plays a role in preeclampsia as well as ...

Gut mycobiota dysbiosis and systemic immune dysfunction in Chinese schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome. [PDF]

Front Immunol
While bacterial dysbiosis has been extensively studied in schizophrenia with metabolic syndrome (SZ-MetS), the role of gut mycobiota in this comorbidity remains unclear. This study represents the first comprehensive investigation of fungal communities in SZ-MetS patients (n=109) versus healthy controls (HCs, n=101) using ITS1 sequencing and multi ...

A Fungal World: Could the Gut Mycobiome Be Involved in Neurological Disease?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The human microbiome has received decades of attention from scientific and medical research communities. The human gastrointestinal tract is host to immense populations of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, archaea, and fungi (the gut microbiota)

Feed Regime Slightly Modifies the Bacterial but Not the Fungal Communities in the Intestinal Mucosal Microbiota of Cobia Fish (Rachycentron canadum)

Microorganisms, 2023
The bacterial community of the intestinal microbiota influences many host functions, and similar effects have been recently reported for the fungal community (mycobiota).
