The Gastrointestinal Microbiome: A Review

TL;DR: This review is intended to familiarize small animal veterinarians with recent advances in the field of microbiomics and to prime them for a future in which diagnostic tests and therapies will incorporate these developments into clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in Gut Microbiota in Rats Fed a High Fat Diet Correlate with Obesity-Associated Metabolic Parameters

TL;DR: The observations suggest that propionate/acetate producing bacterial species may play a key role in the development of obesity in response to a HFD, and Lactobacillus intestinalis was the only species whose abundance was negatively correlated with change in body weight and fat mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary effects on human gut microbiome diversity

TL;DR: Recent advances in microbiome studies across both Western and non-Western populations, either in cross-sectional or longitudinal surveys, and over various age groups, are summarized, revealing a considerable diversity and variability in the human gut microbiome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Fecal Microbiome in Dogs with Acute Diarrhea and Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Disease

TL;DR: Results of this study revealed a bacterial dysbiosis in fecal samples of dogs with various GI disorders, and the observed changes in the microbiome differed between acute and chronic disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potential use of bacterial community succession in forensics as described by high throughput metagenomic sequencing

TL;DR: The necrobiome is discussed, specifically, the “epinecrotic” bacterial community succession throughout decomposition of vertebrate carrion, and a new framework and standard operating procedure are provided of how this novel approach of using high throughput metagenomic sequencing has remarkable potential as a new forensic tool.

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.

Taxonomic Note: A Place for DNA-DNA Reassociation and 16S rRNA Sequence Analysis in the Present Species Definition in Bacteriology

TL;DR: Amorphous metal alloys are employed in acoustic devices dependent upon the properties of low acoustic velocity and low attenuation, such as wire, strip and bulk delay lines.

Molecular-phylogenetic characterization of microbial community imbalances in human inflammatory bowel diseases

TL;DR: Patient stratification by GI microbiota provides further evidence that CD represents a spectrum of disease states and suggests that treatment of some forms of IBD may be facilitated by redress of the detected microbiological imbalances.

Introducing DOTUR, a Computer Program for Defining Operational Taxonomic Units and Estimating Species Richness

TL;DR: A computer program, DOTUR, is developed, which assigns sequences to OTUs by using either the furthest, average, or nearest neighbor algorithm for each distance level, which addresses the challenge of assigning sequences to operational taxonomic units (OTUs) based on the genetic distances between sequences.

The Pervasive Effects of an Antibiotic on the Human Gut Microbiota, as Revealed by Deep 16S rRNA Sequencing

TL;DR: Ciprofloxacin treatment influenced the abundance of about a third of the bacterial taxa in the gut, decreasing the taxonomic richness, diversity, and evenness of the community, and support the hypothesis of functional redundancy in the human gut microbiota.
