TL;DR: In conclusion, inflammation status (assessed by the blood C-reactive protein and stool calprotectin) is likely correlated with the abundance of a subgroup of E. coli strains with specific traits, and strain-level time-series analysis of dominant E.ccoli strains in a CD patient is highly informative, and motivates a study of a larger cohort of IBD patients.

TL;DR: Two methods for colonizing the developing gut of 5-day-old germ-free zebrafish larvae with a defined anaerobic microbial community derived from a single human fecal sample resulted in the establishment of two species-Lactobacillus paracasei and Eubacterium limosum-from a community of 30 strains consisting of 22 anaerobe species.

TL;DR: In omnivorous patients with vascular disease, the intake of dietary precursors of intestinal metabolites or adherence to a Mediterranean diet did not change plasma GDUT, and approaches other than diet, such as probiotics and repopulation of the intestinal microbiome, may be required to mitigate the adverse effects of GDUTs.

TL;DR: The versatility and breadth of bioreactor systems that are currently available and how they are being used to study faecal and defined microbial communities are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a phase 1, open-label, single-group feasibility study was done in Alberta, Canada, to determine MET-2 activity, safety, and tolerability.
