Gut bacteria in health and disease.

TLDR
Although this area holds much promise, more high-quality trials of probiotics, prebiotics, and other microbiota-modifying approaches in digestive disorders are needed, as well as laboratory investigations of their mechanisms of action.

Role of Microbes in Human Health

Anil Kumar, +1 more
TL;DR: This mini-review describes about the microbes present in different human habitats and their roles in keeping the person healthy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immune system of the gut and potential adverse effects of oral nanocarriers on its function.

TL;DR: A major message of the review is that early testing of immunogenicity or other adverse immune effects of nDDS in appropriate test systems or models may be prudent to recognize the risk of rare immune problems that may surface in late-stage clinical trials or after marketing of n DDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alteration of gut microbiota composition by short-term low-dose alcohol intake is restored by fermented rice liquor in mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that short-term and low-dose alcohol intake induces alterations in fecal microbiota composition, and FRLs administration can restore microbial composition and suppress intestinal inflammation, highlighting potential benefits of F RLs as fermented foods.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of studies on the faecal microbiota in anorexia nervosa: future research may need to include microbiota from the small intestine.

TL;DR: It is proposed that microbiota samples could also be collected from the small intestine, where a major exchange of nutrients takes place and where the microbiota may have a biological impact on AN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards Novel Non-Invasive Colorectal Cancer Screening Methods: A Comprehensive Review.

TL;DR: Among the investigated techniques the main feature that could have an impact on CRC screening perception and uptake was the ease of sample collection, which promises to achieve good diagnostic performance while minimizing stress and discomfort for the patient.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial ecology: Human gut microbes associated with obesity

TL;DR: It is shown that the relative proportion of Bacteroidetes is decreased in obese people by comparison with lean people, and that this proportion increases with weight loss on two types of low-calorie diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.
