Bacteriophages, gut bacteria, and microbial pathways interplay in cardiometabolic health

Cell Reports
Summary: Cardiometabolic diseases are leading causes of mortality in Western countries. Well-established risk factors include host genetics, lifestyle, diet, and the gut microbiome.

Gut phageome of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) reveals greater diversity than relative species

mSystems, 2023
The gut flora is a treasure house of diverse bacteriophages maintaining a harmonious and coexistent relationship with their hosts. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), as a vulnerable endemic species in China, has existed for millions of years and ...

Moderate altitude exposure impacts extensive host-microbiota multi-kingdom connectivity with serum metabolome and fasting blood glucose [PDF]

Virulence
The contributions and interactions of multi-kingdom microbiota (i.e. bacteriome, mycobiome, archaeome, and phageome) with serum metabolome and host phenome in healthy individuals under moderate altitude exposure remain unclear.

Host specificity and cophylogeny in the “animal-gut bacteria-phage” tripartite system [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Cophylogeny has been identified between gut bacteria and their animal host and is highly relevant to host health, but little research has extended to gut bacteriophages. Here we use bee model to investigate host specificity and cophylogeny in the “animal-

The human oral phageome [PDF]

Periodontology 2000, 2021
AbstractOral bacteriophages (or phages), especially periodontal ones, constitute a growing area of interest, but research on oral phages is still in its infancy. Phages are bacterial viruses that may persist as intracellular parasitic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or use bacterial metabolism to replicate and cause bacterial lysis.

Gut Phageome—An Insight into the Role and Impact of Gut Microbiome and Their Correlation with Mammal Health and Diseases

Microorganisms, 2023
The gut microbiota, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, compose a diverse mammalian gut environment and are highly associated with host health. Bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, are the primary members of the gastrointestinal

Dietary Effects on the Gut Phageome. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
As knowledge of the gut microbiome has expanded our understanding of the symbiotic and dysbiotic relationships between the human host and its microbial constituents, the influence of gastrointestinal (GI) microbes both locally and beyond the intestine has become evident.

The circulating phageome reflects bacterial infections

, 2022
AbstractBacteriophage, viruses that infect bacteria, are abundant in the human body but the relationship between the phageome and bacterial population dynamics is unclear. Because bacteriophage are often highly specific to bacterial host strains and species, we asked whether bacteriophage present in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) reflect bacterial infections in
