The microbiome in bronchiectasis [PDF]
Bronchiectasis is increasing in prevalence worldwide, yet current treatments available are limited to those alleviating symptoms and reducing exacerbations. The pathogenesis of the disease and the inflammatory, infective and molecular drivers of disease progression are not fully understood, making the development of novel treatments challenging ...

Discordant transmission of bacteria and viruses from mothers to babies at birth [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The earliest microbial colonizers of the human gut can have life-long consequences for their hosts. Precisely how the neonatal gut bacterial microbiome and virome are initially populated is not well understood.

Alpha-synuclein alters the faecal viromes of rats in a gut-initiated model of Parkinson’s disease
Stockdale et al. assess longitudinal faecal virome changes in a rat model of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) in which either monomeric or preformed fibrils (PFF) of α-synuclein were administered directly into their enteric nervous system.

A high-fat (HF) diet reduces resistance to the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. We demonstrate that short-term gavage with A. muciniphila increases resistance to oral and systemic L. monocytogenes infection in mice fed a HF diet. A. muciniphila

Is There a Brain Microbiome? [PDF]
Numerous studies have identified microbial sequences or epitopes in pathological and non-pathological human brain samples. It has not been resolved if these observations are artifactual, or truly represent population of the brain by microbes. Given the tempting speculation that resident microbes could play a role in the many neuropsychiatric and ...
