TL;DR: This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that a stool substitute mixture comprising a multi-species community of bacteria is capable of curing antibiotic-resistant C. difficile colitis.

TL;DR: Results from an initial reference genome sequencing of 178 microbial genomes allow for ~40% of random sequences from the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract to be associated with organisms based on the match criteria used, suggesting that the authors are still far from saturating microbial species genetic data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macronutrient metabolism by the human gut microbiome: major fermentation by-products and their impact on host health
TL;DR: Current knowledge of how macronutrient metabolism by the gut microbiome influences human health is summarized and knowledge gaps that could contribute to the understanding of overall human wellness will be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A standardized DNA extraction method for human fecal samples is recommended, for which transferability across labs was established and which was further benchmarked using a mock community of known composition to improve comparability of human gut microbiome studies and facilitate meta-analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive potential of gut mucosa-derived Fusobacterium nucleatum positively correlates with IBD status of the host.

TL;DR: This study indicates that colonization of the intestinal mucosa by highly invasive strains of F. nucleatum may be a useful biomarker for gastrointestinal disease.
