Metagenomic analysis of mother-infant gut microbiome reveals global distinct and shared microbial signatures

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2021
Emerging evidence indicates maternal microbiota as one major reservoir for pioneering microbes in infants. However, the global distinct and identical features of mother–infant gut microbiota at various taxonomic resolutions and metabolic functions across

Alpha-synuclein alters the faecal viromes of rats in a gut-initiated model of Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
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.

Akkermansia muciniphila reduces susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice fed a high-fat diet

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2023
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 oral microbiome

open access: yesEmerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2017
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]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
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 ...

Short-term consumption of a high-fat diet increases host susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes infection

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2019
Background A westernized diet comprising a high caloric intake from animal fats is known to influence the development of pathological inflammatory conditions.

SaQuant: a real-time PCR assay for quantitative assessment of Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2021
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.

Human microbiomics [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Microbiology, 2010
The sequencing of the human genome has driven the study of human biology in a significant way and enabled the genome-wide study to elucidate the molecular basis of complex human diseases. Recently, the role of microbiota on human physiology and health has received much attention.
