Investigating Colonization of the Healthy Adult Gastrointestinal Tract by Fungi

mSphere, 2018
A wide diversity of fungi have been detected in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract with the potential to provide or influence important functions. However, many of the fungi most commonly detected in stool samples are also present in food or the oral ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Study of Akkermansia muciniphila Effect on the Gut Microbiome of Mice Under LPS-Induced Systemic Inflammation

International Journal of Inflammation
Probiotics are strains of living bacteria and yeast that play an important role in regulating the gut microbiota and enhancing host immunity. In the last decade, the bacterial species Akkermansia muciniphila has attracted great interest due to its ...

Maximal viral information recovery from sequence data using VirMAP

Nature Communications, 2018
Viral taxonomic characterization from metagenomic data suffers from high background noise and signal crosstalk. Here, the authors develop VirMAP, a novel pipeline for analyses of metagenomic data that classifies viral reconstructions independent of ...

Molecular Phenomics and Metagenomics of Hepatic Steatosis in Non-Diabetic Obese Women

Nature Medicine, 2018
Hepatic steatosis is a multifactorial condition that is often observed in obese patients and is a prelude to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we combine shotgun sequencing of fecal metagenomes with molecular phenomics (hepatic transcriptome and ...

The metagenomics of biosilicification: causes and effects [PDF]

, 2008
In order to determine the links between geochemical parameters controlling the formation of silica sinter in hot springs and their associated microbial diversity, a detailed characterisation of the waters and of in situ-grown silica sinters was combined ...

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.
