Defining the human microbiome [PDF]

Nutrition Reviews, 2012
Rapidly developing sequencing methods and analytical techniques are enhancing our ability to understand the human microbiome, and, indeed, how the microbiome and its constituents are defined. This review highlights recent research that expands our ability to understand the human microbiome on different spatial and temporal scales, including daily time ...

The human skin microbiome [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2018
Functioning as the exterior interface of the human body with the environment, skin acts as a physical barrier to prevent the invasion of foreign pathogens while providing a home to the commensal microbiota. The harsh physical landscape of skin, particularly the desiccated, nutrient-poor, acidic environment, also contributes to the adversity that ...

Quantitative insights into effects of intrapartum antibiotics and birth mode on infant gut microbiota in relation to well-being during the first year of life

Gut Microbes, 2022
Birth mode and maternal intrapartum (IP) antibiotics affect infants’ gut microbiota development, but their relative contribution to absolute bacterial abundances and infant health has not been studied.

Development of a Protocol for Anaerobic Preparation and Banking of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Material: Evaluation of Bacterial Richness in the Cultivated Fraction

Microorganisms, 2023
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has shown highly variable results in indications beyond recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. Microbiota dysbiosis in many diseases is characterized by the depletion of strictly anaerobic bacteria, which may

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

In vitro adhesion, pilus expression, and in vivo amelioration of antibiotic-induced microbiota disturbance by Bifidobacterium spp. strains from fecal donors

Gut Microbes, 2023
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is used routinely to treat recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) and investigated as a treatment for numerous conditions associated with gut microbiota alterations.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.
