Gut Ruminococcaceae Levels Correlate with Risk of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) affects a significant proportion of patients receiving antibiotics. We sought to understand if differences in the gut microbiome would influence the development of AAD. We administered a 3-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate to 30 healthy adult volunteers, and analyzed their stool microbiome, using 16S rRNA gene ...

Complete Genome Sequence of a New Ruminococcaceae Bacterium Isolated from Anaerobic Biomass Hydrolysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT A new Ruminococcaceae bacterium, strain HV4-5-B5C, participating in the anaerobic digestion of grass, was isolated from a mesophilic two-stage laboratory-scale leach bed biogas system. The draft annotated genome sequence presented in this study and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated the ...

Low Gut Ruminococcaceae Levels are Associated with Occurrence of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea [PDF]
AbstractPatients receiving antibiotics often suffer from antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). AAD is of clinical significance as it can result in premature antibiotic discontinuation and suboptimal treatment of infection. The drivers of AAD however, remain poorly understood.

Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Analysis of n-Caproic Acid Production in Ruminococcaceae Bacterium CPB6 with Lactate Supplementation [PDF]
Abstract Background: n-Caproic acid (CA) is gaining increased attention due to its high value as a chemical feedstock. Our recent studies have demonstrated that lactate can be an attractive energy substrate for the production of CA.

A Six-Day, Lifestyle-Based Immersion Program Mitigates Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Induces Shifts in Gut Microbiota, Specifically Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence remains elevated globally. We have previously shown that a one-week lifestyle “immersion program” leads to clinical improvements and sustained improvements in quality of life in moderate to high atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk individuals.

A Korean-Style Balanced Diet Has a Potential Connection with Ruminococcaceae Enterotype and Reduction of Metabolic Syndrome Incidence in Korean Adults [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome is associated with usual dietary patterns that may be involved in enterotypes. We aimed to understand the potential relationship of enterotypes and dietary patterns to influence metabolic syndrome in the Koreans. Using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES)-VI in 2014, metabolic parameters were also ...

Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of n-caproic acid production in Ruminococcaceae bacterium CPB6 with lactate supplementation [PDF]
Abstract Background n-Caproic acid (CA) is gaining increased attention due to its high value as a chemical feedstock. Ruminococcaceae bacterium strain CPB6 is an anaerobic mesophilic bacterium that is highly prolific in its ability to perform chain elongation of lactate to CA.

Abundance of Ruminococcaceae is Associated with Claudin 22 Gene Expression and Body Weight in Mice [PDF]
Abstract We aimed to identify gut microbiota that influences body weight by elucidating the association with diets and host genes. Germ-free (GF) mice with and without fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) were fed a normal, high-carbohydrate, or high-fat diet.
