Gut microbiome composition in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos is shaped by geographic relocation, environmental factors, and obesity. [PDF]
Background: Hispanics living in the USA may have unrecognized potential birthplace and lifestyle influences on the gut microbiome. We report a cross-sectional analysis of 1674 participants from four centers of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of

Bacteriome and mycobiome and bacteriome-mycobiome interactions in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
The etiology of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is not fully understood. While risk factors such as positive human papilloma virus (HPV) status, smoking and tobacco use have been identified, they do not account for all cases of the disease.

Intratumoral fungal burden of Candida tropicalis as a novel prognostic biomarker for recurrence and mortality in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The crucial role of gut fungus dysbiosis in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has recently garnered increasing attention. In this study, the potential role of Candida tropicalis, commensal gut fungi, in predicting CRC prognosis was investigated.

The Gut Mycobiome in Parkinson’s Disease
The gut microbiome has been increasingly implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, most existing studies employ bacterial-specific sequencing, and have not investigated non-bacterial microbiome constituents. Here, we use fungal-specific internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-2 amplicon sequencing in a cross-sectional PD cohort to investigate ...

Multiple sclerosis patients have an altered gut mycobiome and increased fungal to bacterial richness
Trillions of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses exist in the healthy human gut microbiome. Although gut bacterial dysbiosis has been extensively studied in multiple sclerosis (MS), the significance of the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) is an ...

The gut mycobiome of the Human Microbiome Project healthy cohort
Background Most studies describing the human gut microbiome in healthy and diseased states have emphasized the bacterial component, but the fungal microbiome (i.e., the mycobiome) is beginning to gain recognition as a fundamental part of our microbiome ...

Corticosteroid treatment is associated with increased filamentous fungal burden in allergic fungal disease [PDF]
Background Allergic diseases caused by fungi are common. The best understood conditions are allergic bronchopulmonaryaspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma with fungal sensitisation (SAFS). Our knowledge of the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) is limited
