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

The human microbiome is receiving a great deal of attention as its role in health and disease becomes ever more apparent. The oral microbiome, perhaps due to the ease with which we can obtain samples, is arguably the most well-studied human microbiome to date.

The microbiome of the nasopharynx [PDF]
The nasopharyngeal microbiome is a dynamic microbial interface of the aerodigestive tract, and a diagnostic window in the fight against respiratory infections and antimicrobial resistance. As its constituent bacteria, viruses and mycobacteria become better understood and sampling accuracy improves, diagnostics of the nasopharynx could guide more ...

SaQuant: a real-time PCR assay for quantitative assessment of Staphylococcus aureus
Background Molecular assays are important tools for pathogen detection but need to be periodically re-evaluated with the discovery of additional genetic diversity that may cause assays to exclude target taxa or include non-target taxa.
