Gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: Clinical and experimental data suggest dysbiosis may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IBD, and the therapeutic options for manipulating the altered gut microbiota, such as probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Disease: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

TL;DR: IBD pathogenesis is a result of the interplay of genetic susceptibility and environmental impact on the microbiome that through a weakened intestinal barrier will lead to inappropriate intestinal immune activation, and mechanisms proposed to cause IBD are reviewed from the genetic, environmental, intestinal barrier, and immunologic perspectives.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gut Microbiota in the Pathogenesis and Therapeutics of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

TL;DR: The deconvolution of the gut microbiota in IBD lays the basis for unveiling the roles of these various gut microbiota components in I BD pathogenesis and being conductive to instructing on future IBD diagnosis and therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The microbiome and inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: The role of the gut microbiome in patients with IBD is discussed and the possible benefits of microbiome-modulating interventions, such as probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and gene manipulation are discussed.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +253 more
- 14 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project Consortium reported the first results of their analysis of microbial communities from distinct, clinically relevant body habitats in a human cohort; the insights into the microbial communities of a healthy population lay foundations for future exploration of the epidemiology, ecology and translational applications of the human microbiome as discussed by the authors.

Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome

TL;DR: Increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel disease.

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.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +247 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project has analysed the largest cohort and set of distinct, clinically relevant body habitats so far, finding the diversity and abundance of each habitat’s signature microbes to vary widely even among healthy subjects, with strong niche specialization both within and among individuals.
