Interpersonal variability of the human gut virome confounds disease signal detection in IBD

Communications Biology, 2023
A longitudinal analysis of unamplified fecal virome of healthy controls and IBD patients reveals interpersonal variability is a factor that limits our ability to identify associations between the virome composition and IBD.

Effect of commonly used cosmetic preservatives on skin resident microflora dynamics

Scientific Reports, 2021
Human skin is populated by various microorganisms, the so-called microbiota, such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, and archaea. The skin microbiota is in constant contact with the surrounding environment which can alter its eubiotic state.

Modulation of the gut microbiome with nisin

Scientific Reports, 2023
Nisin is a broad spectrum bacteriocin used extensively as a food preservative that was identified in Lactococcus lactis nearly a century ago. We show that orally-ingested nisin survives transit through the porcine gastrointestinal tract intact (as ...
