TL;DR: Fecal samples from 46 patients with depression are analyzed to enable a better understanding of changes in the fecal microbiota composition in such patients, showing either a predominance of some potentially harmful bacterial groups or a reduction in beneficial bacterial genera.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the interactions between the human microbiota and the host in order to provide an overview of the microbial role in basic biological processes and in the development and progression of major human diseases such as infectious diseases, liver diseases, gastrointestinal cancers, metabolic diseases, respiratory diseases, mental or psychological diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: The data presented here have clearly profiled the overall structure of vaginal communities and clearly demonstrated that BV is associated with a dramatic increase in the taxonomic richness and diversity of vaginal microbiota.

TL;DR: Detailed microbiota analysis of a well-characterized cohort of infants with FA showed that dysbiosis of fecal microbiota with several FA-associated key phylotypes may play a pathogenic role in FA.

TL;DR: It is found that maternal infection during pregnancy increases the risk of ASD in offspring, and possible mechanisms may include direct effects of pathogens and, more indirectly, the effects of inflammatory responses on the developing brain.
