Gut microbiota markers in obese adolescent and adult patients: Age-dependent differential patterns [PDF]

, 2018
Obesity levels, especially in children, have dramatically increased over the last few decades. Recently, several studies highlighted the involvement of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of obesity. We investigated the composition of gut microbiota in

Faecal microbiome-based machine learning for multi-class disease diagnosis

Nature Communications, 2022
Here, using fecal metagenomics data of 2,320 individuals, the authors develop a microbiome-based machine learning approach showing high accuracy for multi-class disease diagnosis, highlighting its potential application in improving noninvasive ...

Patent Human Infections with the Whipworm, Trichuris trichiura, Are Not Associated with Alterations in the Faecal Microbiota [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The soil-transmitted helminth (STH), Trichuris trichiura colonises the human large intestine where it may modify inflammatory responses, an effect possibly mediated through alterations in the intestinal microbiota.

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 ...

Host adaptation in gut Firmicutes is associated with sporulation loss and altered transmission cycle

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Human-to-human transmission of symbiotic, anaerobic bacteria is a fundamental evolutionary adaptation essential for membership of the human gut microbiota.

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 ...

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]

, 2020
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Gut microbiota in HIV-pneumonia patients is related to peripheral CD4 counts, lung microbiota, and in vitro macrophage dysfunction. [PDF]

, 2019
Pneumonia is common and frequently fatal in HIV-infected patients, due to rampant, systemic inflammation and failure to control microbial infection. While airway microbiota composition is related to local inflammatory response, gut microbiota has been ...
