Journal ArticleDOI

Towards standards for human fecal sample processing in metagenomic studies

Paul I. Costea, +60 more
- 02 Oct 2017 - 
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

Extensive transmission of microbes along the gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: Evidence is found for a vast majority of oral species to be transferable, with increased levels of transmission in colorectal cancer and rheumatoid arthritis patients and, more generally, for species described as opportunistic pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Similarity of the dog and human gut microbiomes in gene content and response to diet

TL;DR: Findings in dogs may be predictive of human microbiome results, and a novel finding is that overweight or obese dogs experience larger compositional shifts than lean dogs in response to a high-protein diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of Salmonella enterica serovars Derby and Mbandaka, two prevalent serovars associated with different livestock species in the UK.

TL;DR: Comparative functional genomics using the RAST annotation system showed that predominantly mechanisms that relate to metabolite utilisation, in vivo and ex vivo persistence and pathogenesis distinguish S. Derby from S. Mbandaka, suggesting these two serovars have been exposed to different stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population structure and associated phenotypes of Salmonella enterica serovars Derby and Mbandaka overlap with host range

TL;DR: The results of this study lend support to the hypothesis that the differences in host ranges of S. Derby and S. Mbandaka are adaptations to pathogenesis, environmental persistence, as well as utilisation of metabolites abundant in their respective host environments.
