TL;DR: It is hypothesized that gut microbiota coevolved with the polysaccharide-rich diet of BF individuals, allowing them to maximize energy intake from fibers while also protecting them from inflammations and noninfectious colonic diseases.

TL;DR: These findings indicated that Hirschsprung’s disease-associated enterocolitis results from a change in the equilibrium between bacterial species or from altered discrimination of harmless from harmful microorganisms, challenging the definition of pathogenic and non-pathogenic species.

TL;DR: It is found that enrichment of Rikenella and Alistipes in Nod2−/− mice at 8 weeks of age reared separately was associated with increased proportion of CD4+ LAP+ Foxp3− cells and less severe TNBS-colitis and these results open a new scenario for therapeutic attempt to re-establish eubiosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients with NOD2 polymorphisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the gut fungal and bacterial compositions in early-stage melanoma and correlated microbial profiles with histopathological features, and found that the bacterial and fungal community correlated to melanoma invasiveness, whereas the specific fungal profile correlated with melanoma regression.
