Changes in Gut Microbiota in Rats Fed a High Fat Diet Correlate with Obesity-Associated Metabolic Parameters
Virginie Lecomte,Nadeem O. Kaakoush,Christopher A. Maloney,Mukesh Raipuria,Karina D. Huinao,Hazel M. Mitchell,Margaret J. Morris +6 more
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.

The potential use of bacterial community succession in forensics as described by high throughput metagenomic sequencing
Jennifer L. Pechal,Jennifer L. Pechal,Tawni L. Crippen,M. Eric Benbow,Aaron M. Tarone,Scot E. Dowd,Jeffery K. Tomberlin +6 more
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.

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.

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
Patrick D. Schloss,Jo Handelsman +1 more
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.
