Baseline gut microbiota and metabolome predict durable immunogenicity to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
The role of gut microbiota in modulating the durability of COVID-19 vaccine immunity is yet to be characterised. In this cohort study, we collected blood and stool samples of 121 BNT162b2 and 40 CoronaVac vaccinees at baseline, 1 month, and 6 months post

Strain-level characterization of broad host range mobile genetic elements transferring antibiotic resistance from the human microbiome

Nature Communications, 2022
Here, Forster et al. compare 1354 cultured commensal strains (540 species) to 45,403 pathogen strains (12 species), identifying 64,188 MGE-mediated antibiotic resistance gene transfer events between the two groups, and show that 15 broad host range MGEs ...

Multi-kingdom gut microbiota analyses define COVID-19 severity and post-acute COVID-19 syndrome

Nature Communications, 2022
Here, by performing an integrative multi-omics analysis coupled to clinical features of COVID-19 patients prospectively followed for up to 6 month, the authors identify specific gut microbiome patterns associated with disease severity and development of ...

Prevotella species in the human gut is primarily comprised of Prevotella copri, Prevotella stercorea and related lineages

Scientific Reports, 2022
Prevotella species in the human gut microbiome are primarily comprised of Prevotella copri, and its diversity and function were recently investigated in detail. Much less is known about other Prevotella species in the human gut.

Invasion of intestinal cells by Staphylococcus warneri, a member of the human gut microbiota

Gut Pathogens, 2023
Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria that colonize different types of human epithelia. These bacteria have a highly variable pathogenic potential ranging from avirulent species to major nosocomial pathogens ...

The microbiome-gut-brain axis in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

Arhiv za farmaciju, 2023
The microbiome-gut-brain axis (MGBA) represents a close two-way relationship between the gut and the central nervous system (CNS) mediated by the immune system, the enteric nervous system (ENS), the vagus nerve, and the gut microbiome.
