Microbiota Disruption Induced by Early Use of Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics Is an Independent Risk Factor of Outcome after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

TLDR
The poor outcome associated with early administration of antibiotic therapy that is active against commensal organisms, and specifically the possibly protective Clostridiales, calls for the use of Clostbridiales-sparing antibiotics and rapid restoration of microbiota diversity after cessation of antibiotic treatment.

Microbiota as Predictor of Mortality in Allogeneic Hematopoietic-Cell Transplantation

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between microbiota composition and clinical outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation has been described in single-center studies in the US.

Lactose drives Enterococcus expansion to promote graft-versus-host disease.

TL;DR: Lactose is reported as a common nutrient that drives expansion of a commensal bacterium that exacerbates an intestinal and systemic inflammatory disease and is associated with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and mortality in patients.

Gut microbiota injury in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

TL;DR: The potential role of intestinal flora in patients with haematopoietic malignancies who have received an allo-HSCT and in whether the microbiota affects clinical outcomes is discussed, including GVHD, relapse, infections and transplant-related mortality.

Naïve Bayesian Classifier for Rapid Assignment of rRNA Sequences into the New Bacterial Taxonomy

TL;DR: The RDP Classifier can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new higher-order taxonomy proposed in Bergey's Taxonomic Outline of the Prokaryotes, and the majority of the classification errors appear to be due to anomalies in the current taxonomies.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
