Molecular characterisation of selected gastrointestinal microbiota in South African HIV-positive patients during HAART [PDF]

, 2012
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

High-throughput diversity and functionality analysis of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota [PDF]

, 2008
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 ...

Immunogenetic control of the intestinal microbiota [PDF]

Immunology, 2015
SummaryAll vertebrates contain a diverse collection of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, on their various body surfaces, and the ecological community of these microorganisms is referred to as the microbiota. Mucosal sites, such as the intestine, harbour the majority of microorganisms, and the human

Distinctive spore architecture and developmental biology of Turicibacter sanguinis reveal unexpected diversity among gut spore formers

Journal of Bacteriology
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

Beneficial effect of the short-chain fatty acid propionate on vascular calcification through intestinal microbiota remodelling

Microbiome, 2022
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

Developmental Change of Yolk Microbiota and Its Role on Early Colonization of Intestinal Microbiota in Chicken Embryo

Animals, 2021
Although the fertilized eggs were found to contain microbes in early studies, the detailed composition of yolk microbiota and its influence on embryo intestinal microbiota have not been satisfactorily examined yet.

Evaluating the microbial diversity of an in vitro model of the human large intestine by phylogenetic microarray analysis [PDF]

, 2010
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 ...

Metatranscriptome analysis of the human fecal microbiota reveals subject-specific expression profiles, with genes encoding proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism being dominantly expressed [PDF]

, 2010
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract provides home to a complex microbial community, collectively termed microbiota. Although major efforts have been made to describe the diversity and stability of the microbiota, functional studies have been largely ...

INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA IN DIGESTIVE DISEASES [PDF]

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2017
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND In recent years, especially after the development of sophisticated metagenomic studies, research on the intestinal microbiota has increased, radically transforming our knowledge about the microbiome and its association with health maintenance and disease development in humans.

Intestinal Anti-inflammatory Effects of Outer Membrane Vesicles from Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 in DSS-Experimental Colitis in Mice

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
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.
