Metatranscriptome analysis of the human fecal microbiota reveals subject-specific expression profiles, with genes encoding proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism being dominantly expressed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract provides home to a complex microbial community, collectively termed microbiota. Although major efforts have been made to describe the diversity and stability of the microbiota, functional studies have been largely ...

Differential response of digesta- and mucosa-associated intestinal microbiota to dietary insect meal during the seawater phase of Atlantic salmon

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2021
Background Intestinal digesta is commonly used for studying responses of microbiota to dietary shifts, yet evidence is accumulating that it represents an incomplete view of the intestinal microbiota.

Intestinal inflammation responds to microbial tissue load independent of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The intestinal immune system mounts inflammatory responses to pathogens but tolerates harmless commensal microbiota. Various mechanisms for pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination have been proposed but their general relevance for inflammation control is ...

Through ageing, and beyond: gut microbiota and inflammatory status in seniors and centenarians [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Age-related physiological changes in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as modifications in lifestyle, nutritional behaviour, and functionality of the host immune system, inevitably affect the gut microbiota, resulting in a greater ...

Metabolic adaptation to a high-fat diet is associated with a change in the gut microbiota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objective The gut microbiota, which is considered a causal factor in metabolic diseases as shown best in animals, is under the dual influence of the host genome and nutritional environment. This study investigated whether the gut microbiota per se, aside

Intestinal Microbiota and Health in Childhood

open access: yesBioscience and Microflora, 2011
Western medicine has only recently discovered that the intestinal microbiota is a major determinant of the well-being of the host. Although it would be oversimplifying to limit the benefits of breastfeeding compared to cow milk based infant formula to differences in gastrointestinal flora, the impact of the latter has been demonstrated beyond doubt. As

Intestinal microbiota, diet and health [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Nutrition, 2013
The human intestine is colonised by 1013to 1014micro-organisms, the vast majority of which belong to the phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Although highly stable over time, the composition and activities of the microbiota may be influenced by a number of factors including age, diet and antibiotic treatment.
