The Human Gut Phageome: Origins and Roles in the Human Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 The investigation of the microbial populations of the human body, known as the microbiome, has led to a revolutionary field of science, and understanding of its impacts on human development and health. The majority of microbiome research to date has focussed on bacteria and other kingdoms of life, such as fungi.

Healthy human gut phageome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Significance Humans need a stable, balanced gut microbiome (GM) to be healthy. The GM is influenced by bacteriophages that infect bacterial hosts. In this work, bacteriophages associated with the GM of healthy individuals were analyzed, and a healthy gut phageome (HGP) was discovered.

Shining Light on Human Gut Bacteriophages [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 The human gut is a complex environment that contains a multitude of microorganisms that are collectively termed the microbiome. Multiple factors have a role to play in driving the composition of human gut bacterial communities either toward homeostasis or the instability that is associated with many disease states.

American Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2020 Background: The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem. An improved understanding of this hidden organ will reveal secrets that are relevant to human health and to several infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic disease processes. Given the ability of the immune response to rapidly counter infectious agents, it is striking that such a large ...

The Sporobiota of the Human Gut [PDF]
Gut Microbes, 2021 The human gut microbiome is a diverse and complex ecosystem that plays a critical role in health and disease. The composition of the gut microbiome has been well studied across all stages of life. In recent years, studies have investigated the production of endospores by specific members of the gut microbiome. An endospore is a tough, dormant structure

Human distal gut microbiome [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2011 Summary The distal gut and its associated microbiota is a new frontier in the quest to understand human biology and evolution. The renaissance in this field has been partly driven by advances in sequencing technology and also by the application of a variety of ‘omic’ technologies in a systems biology framework. In

Repertoire of human gut microbes [PDF]
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2017 In 1675, Antoni Van Leeuwenhoeck was the first to observe several forms using an optical microscope that he named "animalcules", realizing later that these were microorganisms. The first classification of living organisms proposed by Ehrenberg in 1833 was based on what we could visualize.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 In recent decades, the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens has become a major threat to public health. Bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance genes by the mobilization and transfer of resistance genes from a donor strain.

Altered distribution of mucosal NK cells during HIV infection. [PDF]
, 2012 The human gut mucosa is a major site of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and infection-associated pathogenesis. Increasing evidence shows that natural killer (NK) cells have an important role in control of HIV infection, but the mechanism(s ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 The human intestinal microbiota is a homeostatic ecosystem with a remarkable impact on human health and the disruption of this equilibrium leads to an increased susceptibility to infection by numerous pathogens. In this study, we used shotgun metagenomic
