Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium exploits inflammation to compete with the intestinal microbiota [PDF]
Most mucosal surfaces of the mammalian body are colonized by microbial communities ("microbiota"). A high density of commensal microbiota inhabits the intestine and shields from infection ("colonization resistance").

An Insight Into the Intestinal Web of Mucosal Immunity, Microbiota, and Diet in Inflammation [PDF]
The rising global incidence of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions can be attributed to changes in the large portion of the immune system that belongs to our gastrointestinal tract (GI). The intestinal immune system serves as a gatekeeper to prevent pathogenic invasions and to preserve a healthier gut microbiota.

Intestinal microbiota in human health and disease: the impact of probiotics [PDF]
The complex communities of microorganisms that colonise the human gastrointestinal tract play an important role in human health. The development of culture-independent molecular techniques has provided new insights in the composition and diversity of the

BackgroundThe totality of bacteria, protozoa, viruses and fungi that lives in the human body is called microbiota. Human microbiota specifically colonizes the skin, the respiratory and urinary tract, the urogenital tract and the gastrointestinal system.

Intestinal barrier breakdown and mucosal microbiota disturbance in neuromyelitis optical spectrum disorder [PDF]
Abstract Background and purpose The mechanism underlying the pathology of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains unclear even though increased expression of the water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) on astrocytes plays an important role.

Intestinal microbiota in healthy adults: temporal analysis reveals individual and common core and relation to intestinal symptoms [PDF]
BACKGROUND: While our knowledge of the intestinal microbiota during disease is accumulating, basic information of the microbiota in healthy subjects is still scarce.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are a class of organic fatty acids that consist of 1 to 6 carbons in length. They are primary end-products which arise from non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) fermentation of colonic bacteria.

Human milk and infant intestinal mucosal glycans guide succession of the neonatal intestinal microbiota [PDF]
Infants begin acquiring intestinal microbiota at parturition. Initial colonization by pioneer bacteria is followed by active succession toward a dynamic ecosystem. Keystone microbes engage in reciprocal transkingdom communication with the host, which is essential for human homeostasis and health; therefore, these bacteria should be considered ...

Intestinal inflammation responds to microbial tissue load independent of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination [PDF]
The intestinal immune system mounts inflammatory responses to pathogens but tolerates harmless commensal microbiota. Various mechanisms for pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination have been proposed but their general relevance for inflammation control is ...
