Journal ArticleDOI
Duodenal Infusion of Donor Feces for Recurrent Clostridium difficile
Els van Nood,A. Vrieze,Max Nieuwdorp,Susana Fuentes,Erwin G. Zoetendal,Willem M. de Vos,Caroline E. Visser,Ed J. Kuijper,Peter Speelman,Josbert J. Keller +9 more
TL;DR: The infusion of donor feces was significantly more effective for the treatment of recurrent C. difficile infection than the use of vancomycin and patients showed increased fecal bacterial diversity, similar to that in healthy donors, with an increase in Bacteroidetes species and clostridium clusters IV and XIVa and a decrease in Proteobacteria species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Findings From a Randomized Controlled Trial of Fecal Transplantation for Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Noortje G. Rossen,Susana Fuentes,Mirjam van der Spek,Jan G. Tijssen,Jorn H. A. Hartman,Ann Duflou,Mark Löwenberg,Gijs R. van den Brink,Elisabeth M. H. Mathus-Vliegen,Willem M. de Vos,Willem M. de Vos,Erwin G. Zoetendal,Geert R. D'Haens,Cyriel Y. Ponsioen +13 more
TL;DR: In this phase 2 trial, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical and endoscopic remission between patients with UC who received fecal transplants from healthy donors and those who received their own fecal microbiota, which may be due to limited numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into the prebiotic concept: lessons from an exploratory, double blind intervention study with inulin-type fructans in obese women
Evelyne M. Dewulf,Patrice D. Cani,Sandrine P. Claus,Susana Fuentes,Philippe G. B. Puylaert,Audrey M. Neyrinck,Laure B. Bindels,Willem M. de Vos,Glenn R. Gibson,Jean-Paul Thissen,Nathalie M. Delzenne +10 more
TL;DR: ITF prebiotics selectively changed the gut microbiota composition in obese women, leading to modest changes in host metabolism, as suggested by the correlation between some bacterial species and metabolic endotoxaemia or metabolomic signatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of oral vancomycin on gut microbiota, bile acid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity

Zoetendal,Willem M. de Vos,Willem M. de Vos,Joost B. L. Hoekstra,Erik S.G. Stroes,Albert K. Groen,Max Nieuwdorp +27 more
TL;DR: Oral administration of vancomycin significantly impacts host physiology by decreasing intestinal microbiota diversity, bile acid dehydroxylation and peripheral insulin sensitivity in subjects with metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human intestinal microbiota composition is associated with local and systemic inflammation in obesity
Froukje J. Verdam,Susana Fuentes,Charlotte de Jonge,Erwin G. Zoetendal,Runi Erbil,Jan Greve,Wim A. Buurman,Willem M. de Vos,Sander S. Rensen +8 more
TL;DR: The relationship between microbiota composition, intestinal permeability, and inflammation in nonobese and obese subjects was investigated and it was found that gut microbiota composition and inflammation are related to obesity.
