Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial community [PDF]
, 2018 Recent studies have conflicting data regarding the presence of intra-amniotic microbiota. Viral communities are increasingly recognized as important although overlooked components of the human microbiota.

Dynamic changes occur in the DNA gut virome of female cynomolgus macaques during aging
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Aging is a critical factor affecting physical health and disease in mammals. Emerging evidence indicates that aging may affect the gut bacteriome in cynomolgus macaques, but little is known about whether or how the gut virome changes with age.

Characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome
PLOS ONE, 2019 The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) has been proposed as an alternative laboratory animal to primates in biomedical research in recent years. However, characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome remain unclear. In this study, the metagenomic analysis method was used to identify the features of gut virome from fecal samples of this animal. Results showed

The human gut microbiota and virome: Potential therapeutic implications [PDF]
Digestive and Liver Disease, 2015 Human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem with several functions integrated in the host organism (metabolic, immune, nutrients absorption, etc.). Human microbiota is composed by bacteria, yeasts, fungi and, last but not least, viruses, whose composition has not been completely described. According to previous evidence on pathogenic viruses, the human

A Previously Undescribed Highly Prevalent Phage Identified in a Danish Enteric Virome Catalog
mSystems, 2021 Gut viruses are important, yet often neglected, players in the complex human gut microbial ecosystem. Recently, the number of human gut virome studies has been increasing; however, we are still only scratching the surface of the immense viral diversity ...
