Robustness of Mammalian Gut Microbiota to Humanization in Captivity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In mammals, the composition of the gut microbiota is associated with host phylogenetic history, and host-lineage specific microbiota have been shown, in some cases, to contribute to fitness-related traits of their hosts.

Microbial diversity in individuals and their household contacts following typical antibiotic courses. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundAntibiotics are a mainstay of treatment for bacterial infections worldwide, yet the effects of typical antibiotic prescriptions on human indigenous microbiota have not been thoroughly evaluated.

Phytoestrogen Metabolism by Adult Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]

Molecules, 2016
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived polyphenols with a structure similar to human estrogens. The three main groups of phytoestrogens, isoflavones, ellagitannins, and lignans, are transformed into equol, urolithins, and enterolignans, respectively, by bacteria.

The infant gut microbiota at 12 ​months of age is associated with human milk exposure but not with maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index or infant BMI-for-age z-scores

Current Research in Physiology, 2021
Background: As obesity rates continue to rise, it is increasingly important to understand factors that can influence body weight and growth, especially from an early age.

Prebiotic effects: metabolic and health benefits [PDF]

, 2010
The different compartments of the gastrointestinal tract are inhabited by populations of micro-organisms. By far the most important predominant populations are in the colon where a true symbiosis with the host exists that is a key for well-being and ...

IgA in human health and diseases: Potential regulator of commensal microbiota

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Gut microbiota has extensive and tremendous impacts on human physiology and pathology. The regulation of microbiota is therefore a cardinal problem for the mutualistic relationship, as both microbial overgrowth and excessive immune reactions toward them ...

Advancing human gut microbiota research by considering gut transit time [PDF]

Gut, 2022
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut transit time is a key factor in shaping the gut microbiota composition and activity, which are linked to human health. Both population-wide and small-scale studies have identified transit time as a top covariate contributing to the large interindividual variation in the faecal microbiota composition.

The first microbial colonizers of the human gut: composition, activities, and health implications of the infant gut microbiota [PDF]

, 2017
The human gut microbiota is engaged in multiple interactions affecting host health during the host's entire life span. Microbes colonize the neonatal gut immediately following birth.

Probiotics Regulate Gut Microbiota: An Effective Method to Improve Immunity

Molecules, 2021
Probiotics are beneficial active microorganisms that colonize the human intestines and change the composition of the flora in particular parts of the host. Recently, the use of probiotics to regulate intestinal flora to improve host immunity has received

Interaction between Gut Microbiota and Toll-like Receptor: from Immunity to Metabolism [PDF]

, 2017
The human gut contains trillions of commensal bacteria, and similar to pathogenic bacteria, the gut microbes and their products can be recognized by toll-like receptors (TLRs).
