TL;DR: MGWAS analysis showed that patients with type 2 diabetes were characterized by a moderate degree of gut microbial dysbiosis, a decrease in the abundance of some universal butyrate-producing bacteria and an increase in various opportunistic pathogens, as well as an enrichment of other microbial functions conferring sulphate reduction and oxidative stress resistance.

TL;DR: The gut microbiota of infants delivered by C-section showed significantly less resemblance to their mothers and nutrition had a major impact on early microbiota composition and function, with cessation of breast-feeding, rather than introduction of solid food, being required for maturation into an adult-like microbiota.

TL;DR: A metagenome-wide association study on stools from individuals with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and healthy controls is performed, identifying microbial strains and functions associated with the disease.

TL;DR: A cluster of cases associated with a single family is reported and an open-source genomic analysis of an isolate from one member of the family is described, revealing that the outbreak strain belonged to an enteroaggregative E. coli lineage that had acquired genes for Shiga toxin 2 and for antibiotic resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a metagenome-wide association study on stools from 218 individuals with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) and 187 healthy controls.
