Paul Cotter and his team at the University of Cork (Ireland) are studying athletes for the impact of sports activities of varying intensity on the gut microbiota and the derived and human metabolites composition.
Preterm infants with growth failure exhibit an immature gut microbiota and metabolome
18 Jul 2019by GMFH Editing Team
Growth failure rates continue to increase. A new observational study has found that infants with growth failure show disrupted maturation of the gut microbiota involving low diversity, a higher abundance of Staphylococcaceae and a lack of strictly anaerobic bacteria.
The crosstalk between bacteriophages and commensal bacteria contributes to the gut ecosystem’s stability
27 Jun 2019by GMFH Editing Team
Bacteriophages have remained largely underexplored due to limitations in sequencing methods. New in vitro findings reveal that phages have a different effect on low and high abundance bacterial species in the gut microbiota that aren’t directly targeted.
The fecal metabolome as an avenue for a functional characterization of gut microbiota and its interaction with the host
2 Jul 2018by Andreu Prados
A new study has found that the fecal metabolome may provide a complementary functional approach to gut microbial communities’ metabolism.
Supplementation with Bifidobacterium strains may modulate the faecal microbiota and metabolites of healthy infants during the first year of life
9 Nov 2017by Paul Enck
The first 3 years of life appear to represent the most critical period for dietary interventions with the goal of manipulating microbiota to improve child growth and development and positively affect health.
Chemopreventive activity of celecoxib can be explained in part by its effects on the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites in mice
31 Oct 2016by Andreu Prados
A recent study, led by Prof. Andrew J. Dannenberg from the Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College at Cornell University in New York, has found that the chemopreventive activity of the drug celecoxib can be explained in part by its effects on the gut microbiota and its metabolites.
