Transkingdom Analysis of the Female Reproductive Tract Reveals Bacteriophages form Communities

Viruses, 2022
The female reproductive tract (FRT) microbiome plays a vital role in maintaining vaginal health. Viruses are key regulators of other microbial ecosystems, but little is known about how the FRT viruses (virome), particularly bacteriophages that comprise ...

Gut phageome: challenges in research and impact on human microbiota. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
The human gut microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining our health. Fluctuations in the diversity and structure of the gut microbiota have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several metabolic and inflammatory conditions. Dietary patterns, medication, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity can all influence the abundance of ...

Perspective on the Coevolutionary Role of Host and Gut Microbiota in Polyphenol Health Effects: Metabotypes and Precision Health

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 68, Issue 22, November 2024.
Polyphenols are xenobiotics (antinutrients and antimicrobials), posing a potential threat to the host and its gut microbiota. Thus, their health effects are a coevolutionary secondary consequence of the host and microbiota metabolism to neutralize them.

Protocol for the isolation, sequencing, and analysis of the gut phageome from human fecal samples

STAR Protocols, 2022
The phage-bacteria interactions in the gut microbiome are critical for health and disease, but viruses of the human gut microbiome are poorly understood. Here, we present a simple and cost-efficient protocol for collecting viral-like particles (VLPs) from human fecal samples.

The effects of stress on gut virome: Implications on infectious disease and systemic disorders

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 5, October 2024.
Stress conditions can weaken the host's immune system, affecting the entire gut–brain axis. Concurrently, disruptions in the composition of the gut microbiota are associated with exacerbations of diseases. This review explores the complex interplay between stress, gut virome, and the host immune system.
