Metabolic adaptation to a high-fat diet is associated with a change in the gut microbiota [PDF]
Objective The gut microbiota, which is considered a causal factor in metabolic diseases as shown best in animals, is under the dual influence of the host genome and nutritional environment. This study investigated whether the gut microbiota per se, aside

Evaluating the microbial diversity of an in vitro model of the human large intestine by phylogenetic microarray analysis [PDF]
A high-density phylogenetic microarray targeting small subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA) sequences of over 1000 microbial phylotypes of the human gastrointestinal tract, the HITChip, was used to assess the impact of faecal inoculum preparation and operation ...

Molecular characterisation of selected gastrointestinal microbiota in South African HIV-positive patients during HAART [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references.Progression of the HIV disease is characterised by a massive depletion of CD4+ T cells and it has been shown that patients living with a more advanced HIV infection have a higher risk of developing diarrhoea due to the

Sporulation is a widespread but incompletely characterized trait among gut commensals, where it underpins microbial persistence, transmission, and ecological resilience. Most insights into spore biology derive from Bacilli and Clostridia; however, little

Background Vascular calcification is a major cause of the high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases and is closely associated with the intestinal microbiota. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are derived from the intestinal microbiota and can

Microarray analysis and barcoded pyrosequencing provide consistent microbial profiles depending on the source of human intestinal samples [PDF]
Large-scale and in-depth characterization of the intestinal microbiota necessitates application of high-throughput 16S rRNA gene-based technologies, such as barcoded pyrosequencing and phylogenetic microarray analysis.

High-throughput diversity and functionality analysis of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota [PDF]
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota plays a pivotal role in our health. For more than a decade a major input for describing the diversity of the GI tract microbiota has been derived from the application of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU ...

Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a probiotic strain with proven efficacy in inducing and maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis. However, the microbial factors that mediate these beneficial effects are not fully known.

Microbial community development in a dynamic gut model is reproducible, colon region specific, and selective for Bacteroidetes and Clostridium cluster IX [PDF]
Dynamic, multicompartment in vitro gastrointestinal simulators are often used to monitor gut microbial dynamics and activity. These reactors need to harbor a microbial community that is stable upon inoculation, colon region specific, and relevant to in ...
