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.

Bacterial dynamics in intestines of the black tiger shrimp and the Pacific white shrimp during Vibrio harveyi exposure

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of intestinal bacterial population altered by a presence of the pathogen in shrimp intestines and intestinal bacterial stability might provide colonization resistance against the invading pathogenic in the host shrimp, which may potentially contribute to disease prevention in aquaculture.
Journal ArticleDOI

One Health - Cycling of diverse microbial communities as a connecting force for soil, plant, animal, human and ecosystem health.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the role of interconnected microbiomes in promoting plant and animal health and possible ways to stimulate a healthy, diverse microbiome throughout human-dominated ecosystems are concluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiological role of host microbiota in the development of obesity.

TL;DR: The gut microbiota is becoming of significant research interest in relation to obesity in an attempt to better understand the aetiology of obesity and to develop new methods of its prevention and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Microbiota and Predicted Metabolic Pathways in a Sample of Mexican Women Affected by Obesity and Obesity Plus Metabolic Syndrome.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Mexican women have a particular bacterial gut microbiota characteristic of each phenotype, and gut bacteria in OMS and OB conditions carry more genes of metabolic pathways implicated in lipid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut Microbiome and Multiple Sclerosis

TL;DR: This work examines the different sources of information linking the gut microbiota to multiple sclerosis and examines the future avenues for utilizing the knowledge of the gut microbiome to potentially treat and prevent multiple sclerosis.

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.
