Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiota in IBD.

TL;DR: Dysbiosis (that is, abnormal microbiota composition) and decreased complexity of the gut microbial ecosystem are common features in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and whether such changes are a cause or a consequence of the disease remains to be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and assembly of genomes and genetic elements in complex metagenomic samples without using reference genomes

TL;DR: This work presents a method, based on binning co-abundant genes across a series of metagenomic samples, that enables comprehensive discovery of new microbial organisms, viruses and co-inherited genetic entities and aids assembly of microbial genomes without the need for reference sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

A microbial signature for Crohn ’ s disease

TL;DR: The results showed that UC and CD are two distinct subtypes of IBD at the microbiome level, and for the first time, microbiomarkers to discriminate between CD and non-CD independently of geographical regions are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral oligofructose-enriched inulin supplementation in acute ulcerative colitis is well tolerated and associated with lowered faecal calprotectin

TL;DR: This data indicates that inulin and oligofructose promote selective growth of saccharolytic bacteria with low inflammatory potential and have potential to be a source of signaling errors in the immune system.
