Gastroenterology
The findings of a recent study suggest that fecal microbiota transplants reduce colonization with multidrug-resistant organisms in people who received kidney transplants.
Gastroenterology, Oncology
The findings of a recent study suggest that antibiotics should be prescribed with caution in cancer patients who are planning to receive PD-1 inhibitors.
Neuroscience, Pneumology
By suggesting that the bacteria detected in the brain after severe pneumonia originate from the lungs, the findings shed light onto the mechanisms of pneumonia-induced neurological conditions.
Dermatology
The findings of a recent study may inform new therapies to modulate the skin microbiota in people with leishmaniasis.
Scientific research
The findings of a recent study link the gut microbiota and the microorganisms responsible for bloodstream infection in critically ill patients.
Otolaryngology, Pneumology
The findings of a recent study suggest that, during SARS-CoV-2 infection, some bacteria in the upper airways’ microbiota may be associated with a person’s disease progression to intubation.
Dermatology
The findings of a recent stydy suggest that the skin microbiota triggers a rapid immune response of resident skin cells at the onset of Borrelia infection.
Pediatrics
The findings of a recent study suggest that the microbiota-derived metabolite phenyllactic acid can prevent antibiotic-associated obesity in early life.
Gynecology
The findings of a recent study suggest that a mother’s gut microbiota influences fetal health by promoting placental growth and vascularization.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
The findings of a recent study suggest that the interplay between the microbiota, the gut and the brain drives binge-eating disorders.
