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.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that some pathogens of the oral and skin microbiota are identified as ‘self’ by the immune system, and if this were the case, the microbiome would be more influential in the progression, or halting of the disease process.

Modulation of gut microbiota: An emerging consequence in neonatal sepsis

TL;DR: In this paper , a review summarizes the evidence on seeding of neonatal gut microbiota, modulation of gut microbiota in neonatal sepsis, antimicrobial resistance, and role of probiotics or other therapies to re-establish altered microbiota.

Dissecting Human Gut Microbiome to Better Decipher Drug liability: a once-forgotten organ takes center stage.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present comprehensive mechanisms and co-contributing factors by which the gut microbiome influences drug therapeutic outcomes and highlight in vitro, in vivo, and in silico models for elucidating the mechanistic role and clinical impact of the Gut microbiome on drugs in combination with high-throughput, functionally oriented, and physiologically relevant techniques.

The role of gut microbiota in cerebrovascular disease and related dementia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight the complex interplay between microbiota, their metabolites and essential functions for human health ranging from regulation of the metabolism and the immune system to modulation of brain development and function.

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.

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.
