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.

Human gut microbiota/microbiome in health and diseases: a review

TL;DR: The role of gut microbiota in maintaining host health is clarified and how nutritional and environmental factors affect the gut microbial structure and function is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiome and metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: Modification of gut microbiota via prebiotics, probiotics or other dietary interventions has provided evidence to support a possible beneficial effect of interventions targeting gut microbiota modulation to treat components or complications of metabolic syndrome.

Disturbance of the gut microbiota in early-life selectively affects visceral pain in adulthood without impacting cognitive or anxiety-related behaviors in male rats

TL;DR: A temporary disruption of the gut microbiota in early-life results in very specific and long-lasting changes in visceral sensitivity in male rats, a hallmark of stress-related functional disorders of the brain-gut axis such as irritable bowel disorder.

Repeat Treatment With Rifaximin Is Safe and Effective in Patients With Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome

TL;DR: In a phase 3 study of patients with relapsing symptoms of IBS-D, repeat rifaximin treatment was efficacious and well tolerated and significant improvements were noted for prevention of recurrence, durable response, and bowel movement urgency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiota in neurodegenerative disorders.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of gut microbiota in neurodegenerative disorders and possible intervention strategies and reveals that intake of probiotics may help in the integrity of intestinal and BBB thus ameliorating the above neurodegenersative disorders.

Reduced anxiety‐like behavior and central neurochemical change in germ‐free mice

TL;DR: This work has shown that the presence of gut microbiota regulates the set point for hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and the role intestinal microbiota may play in communication between these two systems is increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low counts of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in colitis microbiota.

TL;DR: The fecal microbiota of patients with IBD differs from that of healthy subjects, and the phylum Firmicutes and particularly the species F. prausnitzii, are underrepresented in A‐IBD patients as well as in IC patients, which could be crucial to gut homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis with the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 is as effective as with standard mesalazine

TL;DR: The probiotic drug E coli Nissle 1917 shows efficacy and safety in maintaining remission equivalent to the gold standard mesalazine in patients with ulcerative colitis, which underlines the pathogenetic significance of the enteric flora.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-pathogenic Escherichia coli versus mesalazine for the treatment of ulcerative colitis: a randomised trial.

TL;DR: The results suggest that treatment with a non-pathogenic E. coli has an equivalent effect to mesalazine in maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic profiling reveals a contribution of gut microbiota to fatty liver phenotype in insulin-resistant mice

TL;DR: Multivariate statistical modeling of the spectra shows that the genetic predisposition of the 129S6 mouse to impaired glucose homeostasis and NAFLD is associated with disruptions of choline metabolism, and indicates that gut microbiota may play an active role in the development of insulin resistance.
