TL;DR: The presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis correlates with colitis in TRUC animals, and these TRUC-derived strains can elicit colitis but require a maternally transmitted endogenous microbial community for maximal intestinal inflammation.

TL;DR: A careful analysis of the available data suggests that what the authors term BV is a set of common clinical signs and symptoms that can be provoked by a plethora of bacterial species with proinflammatory characteristics, coupled to an immune response driven by variability in host immune function.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that colitis improved in T-Bet−/−Rag2− /− mice that consumed a fermented milk product containing Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis DN-173 010 strain.

TL;DR: MDSINE, a suite of algorithms for inferring dynamical systems models from microbiome time-series data and predicting temporal behaviors, is presented, demonstrating new capabilities, including accurate forecasting of microbial dynamics, prediction of stable sub-communities that inhibit pathogen growth and identification of bacteria most crucial to community integrity in response to perturbations.

TL;DR: The chorion parenchyma appears to harbor constituents that prevent the identification of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid by PCR methods, and approximately half of second-trimester placentas harbor organisms within the chorionic plate.
