Stable distinct core eukaryotic viromes in different mosquito species from Guadeloupe, using single mosquito viral metagenomics

Microbiome, 2019
Background Mosquitoes are the most important invertebrate viral vectors in humans and harbor a high diversity of understudied viruses, which has been shown in many mosquito virome studies in recent years.

Emerging Clostridioides difficile ribotypes have divergent metabolic phenotypes

mSystems
Clostridioides difficile is a gram-positive spore-forming pathogen that commonly causes diarrheal infections in the developed world. Although C. difficile is a genetically diverse species, certain ribotypes are overrepresented in human infections, and it

The effect of short-term consumption of Bifidobacterium bifidum on the gut microbiome of obese individuals

Experimental Biology and Medicine
It is known that gut microbiota dysbiosis can lead to obesity by disrupting energy consumption and metabolism. Probiotic supplements are a potential therapeutic option for improving intestinal homeostasis.
