Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease
TLDR
The advances in modeling and analysis of gut microbiota will further the authors' knowledge of their role in health and disease, allowing customization of existing and future therapeutic and prophylactic modalities.Abstract:
Gut microbiota is an assortment of microorganisms inhabiting the length and width of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. The composition of this microbial community is host specific, evolving throughout an individual's lifetime and susceptible to both exogenous and endogenous modifications. Recent renewed interest in the structure and function of this "organ" has illuminated its central position in health and disease. The microbiota is intimately involved in numerous aspects of normal host physiology, from nutritional status to behavior and stress response. Additionally, they can be a central or a contributing cause of many diseases, affecting both near and far organ systems. The overall balance in the composition of the gut microbial community, as well as the presence or absence of key species capable of effecting specific responses, is important in ensuring homeostasis or lack thereof at the intestinal mucosa and beyond. The mechanisms through which microbiota exerts its beneficial or detrimental influences remain largely undefined, but include elaboration of signaling molecules and recognition of bacterial epitopes by both intestinal epithelial and mucosal immune cells. The advances in modeling and analysis of gut microbiota will further our knowledge of their role in health and disease, allowing customization of existing and future therapeutic and prophylactic modalities.read more

Mind-altering microorganisms: the impact of the gut microbiota on brain and behaviour
John F. Cryan,Timothy G. Dinan +1 more
TL;DR: The emerging concept of a microbiota–gut–brain axis suggests that modulation of the gut microbiota may be a tractable strategy for developing novel therapeutics for complex CNS disorders.

The gut microbiota — masters of host development and physiology
TL;DR: The gut microbiota has a beneficial role during normal homeostasis, modulating the host's immune system as well as influencing host development and physiology, including organ development and morphogenesis, and host metabolism.

Indigenous Bacteria from the Gut Microbiota Regulate Host Serotonin Biosynthesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Indigenous spore-forming bacteria from the mouse and human microbiota promote 5-HT biosynthesis from colonic enterochromaffin cells (ECs), which supply 5- HT to the mucosa, lumen, and circulating platelets and elevating luminal concentrations of particular microbial metabolites increases colonic and blood5-HT in germ-free mice.

TL;DR: The effect of the neuroendocrine hormone NE and related compounds on the growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and other human‐pathogenic Vibri species (Vibrio cholerae, VIBrio vulnificus, and Vibria mimicus) is examined.

Effects of microbial flora on cardiac output and other elements of blood circulation.
TL;DR: Cardiac output in young adult germfree rats was found to be approximately 30% lower than in conventional controls, which may be linked to changed water balance in these animals.

Allergic Sensitization to Bovine β-Lactoglobulin: Comparison between Germ-Free and Conventional BALB/c Mice
Stéphane Hazebrouck,Laetitia Przybylski-Nicaise,S. Ah-Leung,Karine Adel-Patient,Gérard Corthier,Jean-Michel Wal,Sylvie Rabot +6 more
TL;DR: The absence of gut microbiota significantly affects the BLG-specific immune response in BALB/c mice, thus suggesting that this model might be of interest for further studies exploring the influence of gut colonization by different bacterial strains on the development of an allergic-type sensitization.

Rapid onset of ulcerative typhlocolitis in B6.129P2-IL10tm1Cgn (IL-10-/-) mice infected with Helicobacter trogontum is associated with decreased colonization by altered Schaedler's flora.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate for the first time that H. rodentium infection in IL-10−/− mice causes subclinical typhlocolitis and that infection with H. trogontum induces a rapid-onset, erosive to ulcerative typhLocolitis which impacts the normal anaerobic flora of the colon and increases the risk of sepsis.

Antibiotic Use in the First Year of Life and Risk of Atopic Disease in Early Childhood
TL;DR: To investigate an association with antibiotic use in the first year of life and subsequent development of atopic disease in thefirst 5 years of life, a prospective birth cohort of 198 children considered to be at high atopic risk was recruited prenatally and monitored for 5 years.
