Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of gut microbiota composition from birth to 24 weeks in the INFANTMET Cohort.

TL;DR: These findings confirm that mode of delivery and gestational age both have significant effects on early neonatal microbiota composition and there is also a significant difference between the metabolite profile of FT and PT infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The core faecal bacterial microbiome of Irish Thoroughbred racehorses

TL;DR: The gut microbiota in six healthy Irish thoroughbred racehorses was characterized and showed it to be dominated by the phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Actinob bacteria, Euryarchaeota, Fibrobacteres and Spirochaetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequences and comparative genomics of two Lactobacillus ruminis strains from the bovine and human intestinal tracts.

TL;DR: The genome of L. ruminis provides a comparative tool for directing functional analyses of other members of the L. salivarius clade, and it increases understanding of the divergence of this distinct Lactobacillus lineage from other commensal lactobacilli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrate catabolic flexibility in the mammalian intestinal commensal Lactobacillus ruminis revealed by fermentation studies aligned to genome annotations

TL;DR: This study has provided definitive genome-based evidence to support the fermentation patterns of nine strains of Lactobacillus ruminis, and has linked it to gene distribution patterns in strains from different sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gut microbiota composition in dichorionic triplet sets suggests a role for host genetic factors.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that initially host genetics play a significant role in the composition of an individual’s gut microbiota, unless an antibiotic intervention is given, but by month 12 environmental factors are the major determinant.
